God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Plus Jack & Jill - they are the now almost adult offspring of Aardlam.

Also Niklaas & Witwarm who were introduced from the Karoo NP when Roy & Nomad were moved to MZNP

And Mel Gibson were shipped off to where again? Sorry for having a brain like a well working sieve :o0ps:

And Norman and Zwaai were moved to the Kuzuko section? Are they still alive?

Jack is turning into one of those handsomes too, judging by photos of him O:V

Mel & Gibson as well as Norman & Zwaai were apparently shipped off to Tswalu which is a private reserve in the Northern Cape \O

Time for a few updates after a couple of visits recently. First day trip proved very difficult to find elephant :shock: :-? 0:

But we did find this big chap fairly early in the day O:V

On Vukani I had a surprise in store for the kids... I knew that there was a bat-eared fox den where previously we've seen a mongoose and jackal den. Even so, would the foxes be out??? They sure were - and we were the first and only vehicle there so it was a fantastic sighting of the adult (probably the male) with 5 kits O\/ O\/ O\/ O\/

On Ngulube loop we found oxpeckers on some zebra. They seemed to prefer the youngsters for some reason -O-

Image

There was also a rather scrawny/mangy jackal and a bushbuck ram O/\

Image

We had heard rumours of the main bunch of lion being seen around Arizona so we checked there as well as the Fire Base side without any luck, but there was a yellow-billed kite perched close by
