and the same Jackel as well $0*\$

please, don't give too much fairy images about the park... there is already enough people

and some, lately, devasted big dunes in 4x4 Eco trail (I believe this trail

)

Saw this pic on Kgalagadi sightings taken by Jaap Wildeboer in April 2013 near Houmoed. Looks like quite a lot of caracal sightings in March /April.

I've got an almost identical shot.

I don't think there were a lot of caracal sightings. But this particular one stayed with its kill for two days.

Looking at the light, I think the FB shot was on the first day and the blog one the second.

one without rain, the first day, and one with rain the second day
seems there is scar on the nose (right side)... will have a look at my photos

We still saw it dry early next morning. When did it start to rain again that day?

one of my first pictures is at 8h36 (31.3.2013)
It seems when I leave TR (at about 7h00/7h30) already raining $\O$

On the 31st?

That means the caracal was there for 3 days straight!
