Male Waterbuck are highly territorial, so if there’s three males on site, I’d expect at least one to be held separately from the others (if not all three held separately).

If two bulls are on exhibit together, is it a possibility one is castrated as even in a large exhibit I’d expect confrontation between two intact bulls.
 
Male Waterbuck to transfer out soon:

From socials:

This gorgeous boy leaves us soon! He is so clever!

Toretto the waterbuck is walking down this undercover laneway, down a narrow extension, through our crush, up a ramp and into a trailer every day!

He does this as many times as he likes and many times when we go to give him his meals he is camping out in the trailer and won’t leave despite having access to out doors! He loves the adventure and secrecy of it all we think!

He is gorgeous and this conditioning will make his transfer to his new home/zoo so much more stress free than if we had to medicate him and force him into the trailer for the transfer
