Some groups of cows form very stable units of up to four adult females and their dependent young. These animals are far more sedentary than the likes of the cow mentioned above and although they might leave the territory of the bull within which they reside for the majority of the time, they seem to return to this area. One particular group, for example, utilised only the territory of one bull over the study period and only left this area twice, both times at the end of the dry season and both times only for a short period of less than three days.
