Most of the permanent residents lived within well-defined home ranges; this was particularly true for the bulls. The map shows the places where four individuals were recorded during the two years of observation. In several instances animals of both sexes moved out of one area and settled down in another. Many of the bulls were never recorded outside their ranges, and it is possible that they establish true territories. Further investigations are necessary to solve this problem. There seems to be little antagonism between neighbouring bulls, and they do not attack trespassers.
