Would like more conformation on what is considered "interacting." I have a list of things for verification:
Would birds piggy backing on animals count as interacting?
I assume the following: head butting/rutting, grooming, nuzzling, killing, chasing, biting,or clawing are good examples.What about birthing?Also, wondering how to classify a certain behavior. I saw a zebra rolling in the dirt. He wasn't standing, resting or eating. He WAS moving, but I don't think that is what is meant by moving. Ha ha.

A zebra rolling in the dust is resting in the same sense as if you went to a spa at a resort on your vacation.

@Zanna640 - either resting or moving would be just fine for the zebra. We realize that there are a lot of details not captured by the behaviors we have available as options.
Catching a birth on camera would be awesome - definitely mark that as interacting!
