Also present in smaller numbers are zebra, blue wildebeest, buffalo, oribi, kudu, reedbuck, bushbuck and common duiker. |
Male oribi may defecate up to eight times in an hour, presumably to maintain the odour quality of the middens. |
Of these the two gazelles produce their young in the early rains, while oribi, of similar size to the gazelles, have a birth peak that coincides with late wet season. |
The grazers are mainly antelope, wildebeest, hartebeest, oribi, impala, gazelle, reedbuck, roan and sable antelope. |
It is not clear why the oribi, a small species, produces its young at the peak biomass, unless other factors override nutritional intake. |
We also saw large numbers of zebra, impala and oribi and the occasional porcupine. |
