Bachelor herd, the Glossary
A bachelor herd is a herd of (usually) juvenile male animals who are still sexually immature or 'harem'-forming animals who have been thrown out of their parent groups but not yet formed a new family group.[1]

African Journal of Ecology
The African Journal of Ecology (formerly East African Wildlife Journal) is a quarterly scientific journal focused on the ecology and conservation of the animals and plants of Africa.
See Bachelor herd and African Journal of Ecology
Animal Behaviour (journal)
Animal Behaviour is a double-blind peer-reviewed scientific journal established in 1953 as The British Journal of Animal Behaviour, before obtaining its current title in 1958.
See Bachelor herd and Animal Behaviour (journal)
Antler
Antlers are extensions of an animal's skull found in members of the Cervidae (deer) family.
Arctocephalus forsteri
Arctocephalus forsteri (common names include the Australasian fur seal, South Australian fur seal, New Zealand fur seal, Antipodean fur seal, or long-nosed fur seal) is a species of fur seal found mainly around southern Australia and New Zealand.
See Bachelor herd and Arctocephalus forsteri
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering quantitative, empirical, and theoretical studies in the field of analysis of animal behavior at the levels of the individual, population, and community.
See Bachelor herd and Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
Cape mountain zebra
The Cape mountain zebra (Equus zebra zebra) is a subspecies of mountain zebra that occurs in certain mountainous regions of the Western and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa.
See Bachelor herd and Cape mountain zebra
Deer
A deer (deer) or true deer is a hoofed ruminant ungulate of the family Cervidae (informally the deer family).
Dolphin
A dolphin is an aquatic mammal in the clade Odontoceti (toothed whale).
Dominance hierarchy
In the zoological field of ethology, a dominance hierarchy (formerly and colloquially called a pecking order) is a type of social hierarchy that arises when members of animal social groups interact, creating a ranking system. Bachelor herd and dominance hierarchy are ethology.
See Bachelor herd and Dominance hierarchy
Elephant
Elephants are the largest living land animals.
See Bachelor herd and Elephant
Estrous cycle
The estrous cycle (originally) is a set of recurring physiological changes induced by reproductive hormones in females of mammalian subclass Theria.
See Bachelor herd and Estrous cycle
Filly
A filly is a female horse that is too young to be called a mare.
Foal
A foal is an equine up to one year old; this term is used mainly for horses, but can be used for donkeys.
Fur seal
Fur seals are any of nine species of pinnipeds belonging to the subfamily Arctocephalinae in the family Otariidae.
See Bachelor herd and Fur seal
Habitat
In ecology, habitat refers to the array of resources, physical and biotic factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a particular species.
Herbivore
A herbivore is an animal anatomically and physiologically adapted to eating plant material, for example foliage or marine algae, for the main component of its diet.
See Bachelor herd and Herbivore
Herd
A herd is a social group of certain animals of the same species, either wild or domestic. Bachelor herd and herd are ethology.
Horse
The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is a domesticated, one-toed, hoofed mammal.
Impala
The impala or rooibok (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa.
IUCN Red List
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is an inventory of the global conservation status and extinction risk of biological species.
See Bachelor herd and IUCN Red List
Lion
The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat of the genus Panthera, native to Africa and India.
Mare
A mare is an adult female horse or other equine.
Northern Hemisphere
The Northern Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is north of the Equator.
See Bachelor herd and Northern Hemisphere
Pinniped
Pinnipeds (pronounced), commonly known as seals, are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, mostly marine mammals.
See Bachelor herd and Pinniped
Red deer
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species.
See Bachelor herd and Red deer
Rookery
A rookery is a colony breeding rooks, and more broadly a colony of several types of breeding animals, generally gregarious birds.
Rut (mammalian reproduction)
The rut (from the Latin rugire, meaning "to roar") is the mating season of certain mammals, which includes ruminants such as deer, sheep, camels, goats, pronghorns, bison, giraffes and antelopes, and extends to others such as skunks and elephants.
See Bachelor herd and Rut (mammalian reproduction)
Seal hunting
Seal hunting, or sealing, is the personal or commercial hunting of seals.
See Bachelor herd and Seal hunting
Seasonal breeder
Seasonal breeders are animal species that successfully mate only during certain times of the year. Bachelor herd and Seasonal breeder are ethology.
See Bachelor herd and Seasonal breeder
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti National Park is a large national park in northern Tanzania that stretches over.
See Bachelor herd and Serengeti National Park
Social grooming is a behavior in which social animals, including humans, clean or maintain one another's bodies or appearances. Bachelor herd and social grooming are ethology.
See Bachelor herd and Social grooming
Social stratification refers to a society's categorization of its people into groups based on socioeconomic factors like wealth, income, race, education, ethnicity, gender, occupation, social status, or derived power (social and political).
See Bachelor herd and Social stratification
Southern Hemisphere
The Southern Hemisphere is the half (hemisphere) of Earth that is south of the Equator.
See Bachelor herd and Southern Hemisphere
Stallion
A stallion is a male horse that has not been gelded (castrated).
See Bachelor herd and Stallion
Territory (animal)
In ethology, territory is the sociographical area that an animal consistently defends against conspecific competition (or, occasionally, against animals of other species) using agonistic behaviors or (less commonly) real physical aggression. Bachelor herd and territory (animal) are ethology.
See Bachelor herd and Territory (animal)
