资源简介：
This dataset comprises high-definition video recordings documenting tongue-nibbling behaviour in killer whales (Orcinus orca) observed both under human care at Loro Parque (Orca Ocean, Tenerife, Spain) and in a wild population off the coast of northern Norway. Tongue-nibbling is a rare and understudied tactile interaction with potential affiliative and social bonding functions.
The dataset includes:
One video file recorded in 2024 in Tverrfjorden (Norway), showing a detailed instance of tongue-nibbling between two wild individuals. Footage captured by Allison Kelly Estevez, and Michael Estevez
One video recorded during a ethological study in Loro Parque, illustrating repeated occurrences of the same behaviour in 2013.
