Do olfactory behaviour and marking responses of Konik polski stallions to faeces from conspecifics of either sex differ?

abstract：:Facial expressions have been extensively used to assess emotions in humans and thus could be extended to other species that also display facial movements. In mice both painful and fearful situations have been associated with particular shifts in facial expressions. Like other species, mice frequently show a great inte...
