Lorenz investigated the principle of imprinting in what animal?

  • Dog

  • Cat

  • Greylag geese

  • Cow

Answer

The Greylag geese are highly social animals that form long-term pair bonds and families. They were crucial to Konrad Lorenz's groundbreaking studies on imprinting, a critical learning period in young geese where their behavior and social attachments are shaped. This early formative phase determines their recognition and bonding with their own species, making geese exceptional models for understanding social development and behavior in various animals, including humans.
