Oryx gazella - Gemsboks form herds numbering between 50 to 200 individuals; higher number are relative to the abundance of a reliable food source. A dominate male leads a group consisting primarily of females and dependent young males. In larger herds, the dominate bull may tolerate the presence of a beta male. Females hide new offspring in nearby brush for the first six weeks, visiting the calf 2 to 3 times each day for feeding and cleaning. When weaned, females stay in the herd; males disperse to join or form other herds.
