….Seeing this above Sunset Scene, Henry remembered his standard (ZMM Route Research Trip Photo Practice & Habit), took one more snap, as he drove through the town.
EXPLANATION => ?? WHY DID IT HAPPEN ?? =>
……… GLANCING BACK … STILL 10 FEET RIGHT BEHIND !! ??
Despite The Fact That Fawn Had Never Seen Henry Gurr,
….WHY Did Critter Follow, Even As Fast As Henry Could Run … For Several Hundred Feet? =>
IT’S A “BUILT-IN” SURVIVAL INSTINCT. >> Read sentence with “innate tendency to follow” below.
In Psychology And Ethology, Imprinting Is Any Kind Of Phase-Sensitive Learning (Learning Occurring At A Particular Age Or A Particular Life Stage) That Is Rapid And Apparently Independent Of The Consequences Of Behaviour.
….The term “imprinting” refers to the rapid acquisition by young animals of the primary social bond to their parents during a limited period very early in life. This imprinting phenomenon can be most clearly seen in precocial bird species [which is named for those species>], whose young are hatched at a relatively advanced stage of development and are able to move about independently rather soon after hatching. Such species include ducks and other waterfowl, as well as chickens and turkeys. Imprinting also appears to exist in some precocial mammal species, such as the guinea pig (Hess 1959a; Shipley 1963). In all of these cases the attachment of the young to the mother is evident when he follows her about. As Morgan (1896) remarked, there is evidently an innate tendency to follow but there is no requirement that the object to be followed be the biological mother. After the infantile following behavior has been outgrown, the attachment continues to exist and forms the basis of later social preferences (Lorenz 1935).
….It also appears that the primary socialization processes in other social animals contain features highly similar to those of imprinting….
