Further Snout Coding

13. From the figure below, select the zone of the wolf's body toward which the snout of the wolf you are coding is oriented or actually contacting (i.e. the initiator is contacting the recipient or the recipient is contacting the initiator) and record this number on your sheet.

Only code the orientation if within one quarter wolflength.

If the snout is not oriented toward the other wolf (or if oriented, but greater than one quarter wolflength), please code "X" in the space on your sheet.

If you are unable to say, please enter "Z".

Please continue here.
