Individuals live for 5 years, gaining sexual maturity at the first year and breeding every 2 years. Herds still consist of 50-100 members. Newly mature males will fight each other for unaccompanied females, using their tail-leg lunge to attack with their front-facing chin spike. They build mound nests out of rocks and dirt for their hard-shelled eggs. During incubation females will tend to the mound to make sure it is the right temperature by taking dirt either on or off the mound. They must do this in the summer when the ground is not frozen. Once hatched, the female will protect the nest while the male goes to find food for his mate and offspring. They lay around 3 to 4 eggs at a time. |
