Mating and Young
Breeding occurs from late November to early January, with births taking place in May and June. Giving them a gestation period of only around 150 days (about six months). Young turs are extremely agile, being able to scamper about steep slopes after only a day of life. They generally start sampling grasses after one months, but continue to suckle for 2–4 months.
