Laboratory rodent social behaviour analysis is an extremely important task for biological, medical and pharmacological researches. In this work thermal images features that facilitate analysis are presented. Methods to distinguish objects on the basis of thermal distribution are tested. Actions of grooming or biting one rodent by another - important social behaviour incidents - are clearly visible in thermal images due to the saliva left on fur. Numerical parameters useful in detecting the occurrence of these actions are described. Recognition results are verified on the rats' social behaviour thermal images dataset.
