Abstract
⺠Alternative foraging strategies in urban free-ranging dogs were investigated. ⺠Typically, males extracted food by 'gap widening' and females by 'rip opening'. ⺠Gap widening was associated with faster food extraction and lower risk aversion. ⺠Female behaviour during pregnancy/lactation was more similar to males. ⺠Foraging performance was inversely related to threat responses.
