Abstract
The social behaviour of three groups of buU-fighters with ages of 4, 5, or more years, is studied within their usual environment (natural conditions). It is concluded that although the behavioural patterns of the bull-fighter follow the general cheme of bovides, their frequency and relative development substantially differs from the models descnbed for cosmopolitan races. On the other hand. the 'kinship' effect decreases wi age in bull-fighters older than 3 years, and the individua[ distance becomes progressively larger with age.
