Interesting :-?

Hope someone saw what happened and if the taxi was speeding and killed the poor impala that further action would be taken against the driver

Ok, looks like SP have replied. Their info is this was a staff vehicle from Game Capture and the staff assumed the antelope had been hit by a vehicle so took it to Satara ranger as per mandate? :-?

I saw the following on latest sightings:

We were watching a leopard killing an impala in the middle of the road on the H7 this weekend. The leopard got a bit of a fright and ran away from the road. While we were waiting for the leopard to return to the kill, a group of people came and took the impala away in their car....

What seemed to have happened is that a leopard caught the impala and was resting under a bush nearby. The taxi pitched up and took the carcass. You can see tourists talking to one of the passengers, surely they would have told them that? -O-

What are they doing anyway, everybody out of the taxi?

Do you insinuate that they stole the Impala?

Why does Sanparks tell a lie :-?
