Social Animals
We are highly social creatures that live in herds. We communicate with each other through a variety of sounds, such as humming, clucking, and even screeching when alarmed. Our social structure is essential for our well-being, and we often form strong bonds with our herd mates.
Diet
We are herbivores, primarily grazing on grass and other vegetation. We have a three-compartment stomach that allows us to efficiently digest our fibrous diet, making them low-maintenance in terms of feeding.
Gentle Giants
Known for our gentle and docile nature, we are easy to handle and rarely exhibit aggressive behavior. We are curious and intelligent, often showing a keen interest in the surroundings and interactions with humans.
