The Ratwa live in the mountains, or the forests at their bases ; 

 they live six or eight together, preferring dell and close cover. 

 They bark all the year, but particularly in winter, when the males 

 are wanton. The horns fall in May, and are perfect again in 

 August. They rut in January or February and breed in June or 

 July, gestating six months. The females have bristly tufts, end- 

 ing in a knob, instead of a horn. The fascial creases are large, 

 mobile, glandular, placed above the inner side of the horn pedicels.
