Description
Physical Description
Size/Age/Growth
Body Length: 150-195 cm / 5-6.5 ft . Shoulder Height: 80-100 cm / 2.7-3.3 ft. Tail Length: 10-15 cm / 4-6 in. Weight: 45-135 kg / 99-297 lb .
Habitat
Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 3,180 meters (0 to 10,433 feet).[1]
Ecology:
These animals are sexually segregated outside the rut
. Group sizes
usually range
from 5 to 50 for males and from 5 to 100 for nursery
groups of females, lambs and young males.
They mostly
eat grass
, but they also consume forbs
and browse
diet
varies widely
over the large geographical range of the species. Females gestate
for 175 days, and give birth to a single offspring per pregnancy.
Females can first conceive at 18 months of age and males are rarely
successful at obtaining paternities before about 3 years of age.
Very few females live more than 15 years and very few males survive
past 12 years.[2].
