forming herds of adult males on one hand... (depends)


Explanation:
I'm assuming the sentence woulld continue saying something like "...y rebaños de hembras por el otro...", or something to that effect.

"It is a gregarious species, forming herds of adult males on one hand..."

the adult males gathering in one group (and the... in another)


Explanation:
I am presuming that it is the herd that is split into groups, not forming (segregated) herds ! They are only being gregarious with their own sort !

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Carol Gullidge: yes! some sort of segregation amongst the flocks! (Women and children first?)
8 mins
  -> Thank you Carol. (Or last?)

neutral  Noni Gilbert: Had to look this beast up, and reached the conclusion it´s herd not flock! Adam´s later note makes it somewhat clearer...
1 hr
  -> I agree - that's why I added second option - simply group together...

agree  MikeGarcia: Congrats. This is it. And, for the record, ALWAYS women and children first, in any kind of circumstance.-/// Many thanks, I'm blushing....and I haveth to thank my Mom and dad, who art in Heaven since very long ago, for it.-
