Abstract
In a population of free-ranging Cape mountain zebra, median age at 1st foaling was 67 mo. (range 38-105 mo.), median foaling interval was 25 mo. (range 13-69 mo.) and annual foaling rate was 32%. Foaling rates of younger and older mares were similar. Foals were born all year round with a peak corresponding to the rainy season (summer). Conception occurred later in the season when the spring was dry.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
