GROOMING - An act of integumentary care (e.g., licking, scratching)
to remove parasites, smooth ruffled fur, remove dirt, etc. Grooming is
subdivided into self-grooming (an animal grooming itself) and allogrooming
(an animal grooming another animal). Grooming may also have a social function,
appearing as conciliatory behavior (a subordinate animal grooms a dominant
animal), reciprocal altruism (animals groom each other), or ritualized
behavior performed during courtship or conflict. G08004.
