Think that was night the honey badger disappeared, he had visited us every night until that night. After a sight like that he probably thought he would be better off taking his chances outside fence. =O: =O:

Sprocky had kindly let us know that there was a"big" leopard cruising around the Sable Dam road. \O O/\


It was quite easy to find in the desert there...but at first a thought it was a dark lioness? :shock: :shock: :shock:

I have really never seen a leopard this big! 0: \O :ty:

It really ignored everything around with contemptuous disdain...even these animals... :yes:


q2.JPG


Another monster! :shock:

q3.JPG


The north was very dry indeed in large areas...this is another sign, as these steenbok are not seen drinking often at all! O-/

q4.JPG

As you can see, it is blindingly barren and hot, and Frewells drove the Samoosa over a little cliff by mistake...it survived impressively! :shock:

Undeterred by Frewells and the leopard, the ellie mini-breeding-herd arrived...

Quite a pretty scene! ^Q^

Richprins started getting a bit artistic, as he was happy to have finally managed to open one of the teas, and had also seen a leopard so early in the trip! ^Q^
