Counting Dead Animals?

  • seabear by seabear

    Ok, strange question, but I have a picture of two lions eating a zebra. Do I count the zebra?

    I would and identify the lions as eating

    Agreed! I would mark both lions and zebra -- and mark down both "eating" and "interacting" for behavior.

    Would the zebra be resting then? Or resting and interacting? I only marked resting for the below...enter image description here

    You can't "unsee that"

    "interacting" or "resting" would both be fine for the zebra -- as we don't have a 'being eaten' category...

    Thank ali!

    But I'm assuming we don't label pieces of an animal though right? Since we can't tell...Or should we take a guess?
