Original text on this topic:
Place uncertain. A male and female of C.s.cottoni, taken from the Uganda-Sudan border were investigated. They were allowed to wander freely during the day, grazing on short grass with no appreciable cover from the sun. Although they had free access to marsh ground, many hot days would lapse without their frequenting it. At night they were herded in a paddock without cover or windbreak, and would sleep fully exposed to cold winds.
