I know this big old male Nan. \O He was just outside TR in December - look at the brand on his rear flank. He was a naughty boy at one time. Nice to see him again. \O

I had better luck at Eland waterhole, in the big dune, 2 Elands accompanied by some Oryx.
One of them fled, the other came back again to me O/\

Image =O: =O: =O: this waterhole has the right name =O: =O: =O:
Image
Image

Then a herd lying ... almost at hand O/ (far too far =O: )
Image

And the last day ... 2 Elands in the slope, who don't leak ... they should know ... that I am going to leave in a few hours :-? 0*\

Léopards


At Lijersdraai a Hyena and a Jackal were busy on a carcass. On the slope, on the right side, a Leopard is waiting patiently for space becomes available. The Hyena finally went off, passed behind the Leopard and.... she/he approached.

An Oryx who was there had not seen and raced ... and the Leopard winced ;-)
Without any doubt ... this Leopard is Safran, the beautiful female I had seen few years earlier at Kannaguas O/\ O/\ O/\
I was, we had no news of this beautiful female who at the time was pregnant O:V

Image
It seems to me that, again, she is (carrying) pregnante \O
I hope I could hear from her soon, thanks to you Forumites, which will be in the park ...

The waterhole had to be a bit hectic these last time, two carcasses on the ground and a set of horns 0'
Wonderful view, wonderful cat !
