Birth
When Ava calves are born, they will not leave the nest, the mother main's focus is to get them to walk slow and steadily when they are juvies. They are also quite silent at this stage because of their weakened vocal cords. It is quite a challenge to gain their parents attention.
Juvenile
When calves turn into juvies mothers will get them ready to walk, she will sometimes urge them faster than they can go. Once the calves can walk perfectly, they begin to become curious and explore their surroundings and will chase other smaller avas or siblings. Another thing is that, their vocal cords become better and they can make calls to their herd now.
Solitary
When avas become alone they will tend to run away from every noise on the island, If they hear a bigger herbivore they will run to it for shelter and protection. If alone, they will mainly travel at night or among the heavily forested areas to avoid predation upon them. They will not vocalize unless they hear a herbivore call out to them.
Courtship
When female avas come into season, the bull avas will become heavily romantic with them and they will be very careful on how they treat the ladies. The favorite lady is followed by the bull that has eyes for her and will bully other males away from her. Female avas will sometimes go back to old mates due to their successful bringing up of children. If a bull fight does happen, it does not last long. 1 or 2 hits are placed down and the most injured will give up and choose another female. If she likes what she sees, she will come up to him and rub against him.
Parental Hood
Mothers are very busy keeping an eye on her children so that they don't starve or get too cold. She will also flee the scene if danger is too great, the father will attempt to make calls to lure away the predators from his offspring. Males regularly will patrol the area or find bushes for his family.
Inhabitants
Heavily forested areas, sometimes marshes.
Hierarchy The top 3 eldest females lead the herd.
Pack Mentality
Herds are very close bonded and will support each other in rearing children and getting bushes and watching out for predators. Sometimes, even the bulls will enjoy a little spar with other male avas and will give friendly calls after the spar.
