Pilanesberg NP. In Pilanesberg, young bulls in areas surrounded by established bull ranges have close ties with their mother until 6-8 years of age. Those in areas which have few established bull ranges around them start to break away from their mother at 2-4 years.
Firstly, Pilanesberg information shows that female calves break from their mothers at 2-4 years, and tend to spend the next 3-4 years wandering far and wide before settling into a home range and calving.
