They use their large ears to fan themselves when they are overheated.
=== Social Structure ===
Herds are made up of extended families led by the oldest female, called the matriarch. Male calves will stay in the herd until the age of 12-15 years which is when they leave and become solitary. Females stay in their birth herd for life.
If an entire herd dies out except for one, the one female may either become solitary for the rest of her life or be adopted by a sympathetic herd, but these adoptions will only occur if the female is completely orphaned without any family left. The one male will become solitary for the rest of his life without ever being adopted unless he is under the age of 12 years, which is when he might be able to get adopted as well.
