THE GUN AT HOME AND ABROAD 
solitary in its habits. But there can be no doubt that in the same district 
in which I only found inyalas in ones and twos the late William Charles 
Baldwin forty years earlier found these antelopes running in small herds 
like koodoos. 
At the present time I have lately heard that inyalas may be seen in the 
Zululand game reserve in herds of ten or twelve together. They have, 
however, now been carefully protected in this district for a long time, 
and though they suffered much from the rinderpest, they are quite possibly 
as numerous again there now as ever they were. Where they have not been 
much persecuted, as in the protected game reserve above mentioned, 
inyalas are said to be amongst the tamest and least suspicious of animals; 
but where they are much disturbed they become shy and wary, and seldom 
leave the dense thickets, in which they lie hidden during the daytime, before 
dusk, retiring again to these safe retreats as soon as day begins to break. 
In the Zululand game reserve, where, of course, they cannot be shot, I am 
told that they can be seen in the open after sunrise.
