“…Additional data on comfort movements might be obtained if one were to view animals in their nest boxes. (EISENBERG and KLEIMAN 1972). The perineal drag occurs in tenrecs, soricids and solenodon as well as marsupials and various carnivores (EISEN-BERG and KLEIMAN 1972).…”

“…First, it could be the neural rule that accounts for most of the variance in the overt behavior performed, with the other two factors simply influencing the type or magnitude of the movement performed in any particular instance. The use of the cranio-cervical bite, common to a wide variety of mammals when preying on other vertebrates (Eisenberg & Leyhausen, 1972;Jones, 2012), illustrates this point. Carnivorous mammals may differ in how fixated they are on the cranio-cervical area as the killing target.…”

“…It also applies to other groups of animals and to any encounter that involves competition, including predatory encounters [31,40,41] and play fighting [42][43][44]. Playful fighting is distinguishable from serious fighting on a variety of criteria [45][46][47], but what unifies them is that, in both forms of fighting, the animals compete to gain access for some advantage, most often that advantage being to contact a particular body target [42,48,49].…”
