Suppose you have introduced a new herd of ten (10) springbok (Antidorcas
marsupialis) into a game farm. You have previously calculated that the
carrying capacity for springbok on this farm is 150. Assume that the
population growth shows logistic (i.e. sigmoidal) growth and a growth rate of
0.3 per year.
a) How many years would it take for the population of springbok to reach
carrying capacity? Please report your calculations. **
