Description:

Authors investigated the propensity for the wild muskoxen Ovibos moschatus (Zimmerman, 1780) to exhibit right or left bias in foreleg use while foraging during winter. Authors found little evidence of such leterlisation, either on the individual or population level. Only 3 of 40 animals exhibited significant right- or left-footedness, and the distribution across the population for use of either limb was near 50%. Time-series analysis revealed that lateralisation of paw use was sequentially dependent. Muskoxen tended to use the same paw for one ensuring bout, but were also inclined tp switch sides over durations of 4 bouts. The lack of lateral bias, at least for this behaviour, contrasts with the general, emerging pattern for the Mammalia.
