Original text on this topic:
Pilanesberg NP. Average observed inter-calving interval is 34 months or 2.8 years.
The most likely mode is 2.6 years, from 20 observations, range 2.1 to 5.8 years.
Intercalving interval is thought to decline with female age, but there is no indication of this yet in Pilanesberg.
