Yes, Flutters. They are known as the Maseke males. There were six of them that moved around together. One of them was in a very poor state and did not survive the darting. Four of the other males were darted and one got away before they could dart it. The blood samples have been sent away for analysis. :-(

There is also apparently a new pride of 14 that have recently moved onto, and have been spotted on Grietjie. \O

You have to love life in the bush. I took a walk this morning and got these shots. Lets just call this installment "Buffalo on foot"...
