An adult female ignoring or rejecting the Solicit-Food or Solicit-Suckling advances of her vocally or physically Begging calf, by walking away or by physically locking a calf out of the breast or away from a branch by using variety of behaviors to repel her advances such as Foreleg-Block, Kick-Back or Body-Nudge or Head-Swipe.
The clip opens with a view of the Mabenzi family. The behavior in question is difficult to see because, Maya gf0020 is in the light in the foreground. The behavior occurs behind her with Marcela, gf0017, and her 4-5 year old calf. She has just been Double-Suckling her 4-5 year old male calf and a 6 month old female calf.
As the clip begins the older calf is still attempting to Suckle and she rejects his attempt. gf0017 reaches toward her older calf with a Trunk-to-Mouth as she twice uses a subtle (to the viewer) swinging motion of her hip/body - Body-Nudge - to block his access in a Reject-Suckle.
