We present the first evidence of seasonal coat colour changes in cattle, with paler individuals in the wet season and darker ones in the dry season, suggesting plastic phenotypes. The main driver of seasonal coat colour appears to be thermoregulation, supporting the thermal melanism hypothesis.

We found that feral cattle were more likely to intervene in allogrooming interactions if they had a strong social bond with one animal but not the other, dominant animals were more likely to be successful interveners, and that allogrooming duration increased when more cattle were nearby.
