Summary Introduction
Introduction: Animal imprinting is mainly observed in birds and mammals, which are born with a pre-programmed desire to imprint onto their mother within a limited time after birth. The newborn young experiences a visual, auditory, and touch-based experience with the first object it encounters, usually a parent. The ability of offspring to recognize and be recognized by a parent is essential for certain species. Imprinting is the process of learning and recognition in the offspring.
