English term or phrase: allomothering
Hello everyone. From a zoo's website:

"The species lives in groups consisting of 3–10 individuals. The females show allomothering behaviors, with non-mothers cooperating in their care and feeding of young. Males define their territory with hoarse vocalizations."

"Alomaternidad"? "Aloparentaje"? Or is there another word for it? TIA.

Explanation:
Lo mejor que se me ocurre es una traducción descriptiva. A ver si a algún colega se le ocurre una traducción más concisa.

Por cierto, si se hace una traducción descriptiva entonces podrías eliminar la parte que dice "with non-mothers cooperating in their care and feeding of young", que sería redundante.
