I am fortunate to find 4 Cheetahs, I waited for hours until the four stand up... this is Star, Charlize's cub and her offspring O/\ 0/0
She injured her right front leg and I believe the latter does not have much strength to get up, he is so skinny O-/

Poor skinny! it is heartbreaking to see :-(

The squirrel is not skinny :-0 O/\ O/\ O:V ^Q^ ^Q^

I love the agama and the foxes are cute as always.

Even a honey badger :shock: Are they getting more common, especially during daylight? :-?

Big herds of bokkies O\/

Your pics are a bit small, Nan. Can you make them 800 instead of 600, please? 0/0

Nan - this is such an adventurous tale. So sorry you had troubles but you also had some great sightings. You must have freaked out with the Puffy incident - we also had a puffy incident last year! Great to spend such a long time in KTP. Love the Pygmies O\/ O\/ - we didn't see one while we were there in March.

All very good and interesting again, nana! ^Q^

As you know, cheetah are very sensitive, but maybe the youngster will make it while it can attend kills? O-/

Love the agama! \O

And bird kill again! :shock:

What an awesome time you had, nan! First finding Star who hadn't been seen like in ages :shock: I just hope that they'd have found a proper meal soon again.
But looking at Corinne and her 4 cubs - there were always times when the five of them looked rather thin. Unfortunately, the lack of rain doesn't really help
the animals though...

Honey badger! And what a brilliant sighting and lighting as well. :-0

Also the BEFS, the great capture of the agama and the hilarious tortoise. Plus you got a beautiful perlie O/\
