AgeThis species is thought to live to ages of around 80 years.
DietDue to the very dry areas which this species inhabits they very rarely come across fruits as part of their diet but they may occasionally eat small numbers of berries. The bulk of their diet is made up from eating leafy plants and from grazing.
Groups and BreedingThis species only lays a small number eggs per year (between 4 to 10) which may be spaced apart over as much as a month and thus laid in different nest sites. These eggs once laid will gener...
