In addition to the adult male, the group includes 10 adult females and 18 young animals born the previous year. With his beautiful, twisted horns and dark brown back, our male seems to be thoroughly enjoying his harem of females at the Tierwelt Herberstein .

Typically, the mothers set their young down in a hollow or a sheltered spot in the lower part of the enclosure and visit them only to nurse them. But what’s particularly striking about this year’s birthing season is that the mothers set their young down in the upper part of the enclosure—very close to the visitors.

If you’d like to watch the fallbock “kindergarten” as the young grow up, be sure to plan a visit soon to the Tierwelt Herberstein.
