Kruger NP. Another cow, 'Mfolozana' gave birth to a bull calf 'Manung' on 3 November 1965 and to another bull calf 'Stungwane' on 13 April 1968 (vide Plate 2 and 3). This indicated an interval between births of two years, five months and 10 days, which is considerably less than the four and a half years recorded for a cow in the loskop Nature Reserve in Transvaal, and is probably more in keeping with the natural average calving interval in the Zululand population. The cow named 'Faai' gave birth to a bull calf 'Numbi' on 28 March 1966 and to a heifer calf 'Matupa' on 29 March 1969 - i.e. almost exactly three years later (vide Plates 2 and 4).
