Abstract
Males of one species of rodent can be induced to care for infants if the stimulus situation is properly manipulated, even though the hormonal condition characteristic of the lactating female is not duplicated in the male. However, for some mammals that form protracted mateships or that live in social groups, a tendency to protect and care for dependent, immature individuals may be characteristic of adults in general regardless of sex and parental or reproductive status.
