Behaviour: The females and their young live in large herds, and the males gather in smaller groups. During the mating, or rutting season, each male seeks females for his harem. At this time there are violent duels between males.
Reproduction: Mating takes place in September and gestation lasts for 7 1/2 months. The female gives birth to one or two fawns, which she nurses for a few months.

Golden Eagle
The range of this bird extends throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere. A splendid flyer, the golden eagle reaches speeds of 240 to 320 km/h when diving. Most of its mammalian prey is taken on the ground, mammals, such as foxes, rabbits, hares. But large birds, such as geese and cranes, are occasionally struck in midair. The eagle does not, contrary to legend, prey to any extent on domestic animals. Nests are built on crags or trees and are sometimes occupied for generations. The young hatch at intervals of several days and in cases where two young hatch, the elder may kill the younger.

Dromedary, Arabian camel
