Experimental setup for experiment 1: The test-arena was equipped with huts for shelter on both sides of the test-arena and a loudspeaker placed on each hut. The zone closest to the loudspeaker that was used in a given trial was labelled as zone one and the most distant zone as zone four. Mother and pups could lie down for suckling anywhere in the arena. Stimuli were broadcast from the loudspeaker opposite to the animals' position.
