Stereotypic oral behaviour in captive ungulates: foraging, diet and gastrointestinal function. (2006, background): “This takes several hours a day, with many hundreds of small items being processed and eaten (e.g. Fisher and Stewart, 1997; Born et al., 2003), and contrasts greatly with the rapidly eaten fishbased meals typical of captivity (e.”
