Ek respekteer dit, James. Geen probleem.James Wilson wrote: Tog kan ek nie dink ek sal ooit op n steenbok jag kan gaan of opgewonde daaroor kan wees nie.
Ek wil net ook DirtyOldSix se vraag beantwoord: "Trou steenbokke for life?"
Dit kom van WRSA se website:
Steenbok are mostly solitary or occur in male/female or mother/lamb pairs. They are strictly territorial, with the adult ram and ewe each having a separate, fixed territory. Frequent sightings of the same individuals in pairs in the same vicinity are a result of temporary meetings when individuals pass through the overlaps of adjacent home ranges. Such incidents can last up to three days and are frequently repeated. Pairs frequently form between the same individuals but only for courtship and mating purposes or as a mother with her lamb The common rapid development of horns in male lambs also contributes to the misconception of pair-bonding, as the ewe is seen in close association with her son for an extended period giving a false impression of adult pair-bonding.
WRSA credits 22 sources for the information they compiled on steenbok. Amongst those sources are such icons such as Skinner and Furstenburg which, to me, makes the information believable.
