Original text on this topic:
In the Koich River area the increase is particularly noticeable, and Captain Salmon came across a cow with two calves, each about 4 months old. His guide told him that he had first seen them when they were just able to stand up, probably within a day of birth, so that there can be no reasonable doubt that they are twins. In the Rogem area another cow was seen to be accompanied by two calves about a quarter grown, but from their behaviour it is possible that one was an orphan.
