Adoption of a Wild orphaned ringtailed lemur infant by natal group members: Adaptive explanations
TLDR
For the subadult male and adult female caregivers, kin selection can be suggested, as the infant was related to all females and immature animals in the group, and adult males may have exhibited caregiving behaviors as a strategy related to affiliation with adult females which could lead to potential mating and reproductive success.
