Description:
White-tailed deer fawns continued to play despite an experimentally induced 33 percent milk shortage. They reduced play by 35 percent and general activity by 9 percent but increased grazing by 62 percent, resulting in virtually complete energetic compensation. This demonstrates the importance of play behavior in a mammal's activity budget.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Muller-Schwarze, D -- Stagge, B -- Muller-Schwarze, C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Jan 1;215(4528):85-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17790473" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
