Steps to reproduce
This data was gathered by fitting aerial camera's to a stable in which a testing pen housed a ewe and her lamb with either an alien lamb or the focal lamb's sibling. All lambs and ewes were allowed a 30 minute habituation period before sampling. The ewe was restrained using a foster crate board to restrict interaction with the lambs. Each focal lamb was recorded for 60 minutes at 24 and 48 hours of age. An ethogram was used to record how many seconds the focal lambs exhibited specific behaviours.
