Sub-adult males and bulls spray-urinated when walking from one station to the other and especially when bulls were courting females.
Bulls spray-urinate more often when courting females than when engaged in other activities. Also when courting, male A was twice observed scraping dung piles very vigorously using both hind legs and horns. It seems these activities have some social role within the species.
