Addo Outings 2016

That must have been only luck ......or were you looking for him?

Such a pity that they have to cut the horns

Pure luck Lis
He's the only one in the park with his horn cut that I'm aware of - I believe it's probably because he gets seen the most, so they don't want to take any chances. He also has a special ankle bracelet

Wow, great sighting and he looks so calm!

He is a very calm chap. Although he did charge me once - but that wasn't his or my fault

A blackie in Addo - wonderful sighting.

(I will be spending 6 days over Christmas in Addo... )

well done Notchy coming for very good pictures

he wear a bracelet... at the left rear leg (rear left leg), it is like the Cheetah around the neck

Ja, difficult to decide on the best pic...you must decide re the cheetah!

Do you get vultures there, PJL...re cleanup of carcasses?

Brilliant stuff, cheetah whisperer, and thanks for satisfying nana!

Very interesting how the rhino horn grows back slowly but surely, PJL!

NOW I'm seriously jealous

Spot on nan - that bracelet allows the park to know exactly where he is

No vultures unfortunately... I've seen cape vultures not too far away nearer to Cradock, so perhaps they are in some of the more northern areas of 'greater addo'

What a thrilling blackie sighting, PJL

[PJL]

Sounds like the park staff are on the lookout for Josie's male cub... perhaps he will be moved to Kuzuko to team up with Sylvester Of course - that's assuming the 2 of them can get on... last time a male lion was released in Addo things didn't go well

Holding thumbs!
