some species always follow the person who they see first. here baby goose first saw nancy because she was attending them when they were hatched. so they started following nancy more than their own mother. this unique phenomenon is called imprinting. right okt3?

Sorry I took a break
(B) Imprinting is an ethologic term that indicates a critical period in a newborn animal™s life. For example, if goslings are exposed to humans rather than geese shortly after hatching,
they will follow humans rather than their own mother
