Impressing



Who is it more important to impress? When he throws back his head and projects his voice towards the sky for maximum carry is it mostly to throw out a challenge to rivals nearby? Or is it to attract the females? The group of six accompanying him contain at least two young born this year along with the mature hinds. They are now roaming more across the higher parts than previously, as though the extra testosterone is demanding he seeks out a rival to demonstrate his superiority. By dawn any battles may have been fought and in the grey light there is a general trend to return to the wooded parts.
