Birth
After just 35 minutes of being born, calves begin to learn how to walk, they are small and don't weigh much their mother often hides them in a bush should a predator be nearby or she needs to leave them unattended temporarily, their odorless bodies, and spots help them hide in bushes and tall grass.
Juvenile
Once Calves getting older, they will begin to be able to run with the herd, often following their parents and sticking close to their mothers, as their mother and father would come to the rescue should a predator attempt to grab ahold of them, this time their main goal would be to survive.
Solitary
Diablos are aggressive and antsy and will prefer to intimidate rather than flee if a threat pursues, they will also avoid packs of mid-tiers and will travel in mixed herds, tolerating herbivores that come near them.
Courtship
When females come into season, they will begin calling, which causes males to begin searching among their herd for females. Once a male finds a female, he will to begin throw his head upwards, showing off his crest, and being aggressive to anything that come near the female. If another male becomes interested in the same female a bullfight will ensure, to which they will begin to intimidate charge and then charge, hitting once, and once a male is to injured he WILL 4 call. The bulls rarely go to far as they will become scared of weakening the herd. Once the male wins, or she accepts him, she will begin cooing and rubbing him. If she denies, she will walk away and begin searching for another male. Females may stay with the same male or attempt to find another next season.
Parental Hood
Females and males are defensive of their young, rarely allowing other diablos or herbivores around them. Especially towards unmated bulls, who will attempt to cull children to bring the female into season, and try to steal her from the bull she has. Females will teach the children defensive tactics and will begin to let them wander as they become older, finally letting them go as they become adults, though still a close bond. Males patrol around the nest and babies, warding any who come near.
Inhabitants
Diablos love to spend time in fields plentiful of a range of bushes, and water, but preferably river lands.
Hierarchy Lead Matriarch
Pack Mentality
The lead matriarch leads the herd, choosing where and when they would go and where they stay. The Lead Matriarch is the only one allowed to assist in helping females in fending off unmated males, going as far as to chase them away from juvies. The herd sticks together closely and will fear nothing in big numbers.
(Males can only protect their mates, if they're unmated, they will protect the female they're attempting to court)
Extra
Matriarchs leave the herd to nest, they will often hide their nest in a tall bush, leaving their children there as they wait for them to grow stronger before bringing them back to the herd.
