This page details some of the kavkema behavioural traits.
Courtesy
Courtesy amongst kavkema can be compared to courtesy amongst social pack animals of Earth: A significantly lowered muzzle denotes subservience, an upturned belly moreso. It is customary amongst kavkema, regardless of social status, to dip their muzzle to the ground in greeting, although the tip of it does not need to outright touch the ground (though in particularly enthused greetings, this will be done). Similarly, it is courteous to be facing each other at all times, and it can cause quite some distress if a kavkem is approached from behind or even just the side, and is generally viewed as an act of aggression.
Reaction to Fear
The reaction to stressful situations in kavkema is rather simple: When presented with the option to flee, they do, regardless how well-equipped they may be to fight, unless close family (especially juvenile family) is threatened in the process.
As a rule, female kavkema are significantly better fighters than male kavkema, and thus slightly less prone to flight than their male counterparts.
