Trense gained particular fame when he went hunting with his tame female cheetah Damba in Angola and when he rediscovered a herd of the rare Mesopotamian fallow deer in 1957 with an IUCN expedition between the rivers Dez and Karche in Iran . Two calves were caught, which later formed the basis for the breeding herd of the Opel Zoo in Taunus .
