Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future.

The White Dam/Calabash female, is dead. The mother of the White Dam male.
From Umkumbe Game Lodge: "It is with great sadness that we inform you of the untimely death of yet another Sabi Sand leopard. Our 11 year old graceful beauty, White Dam, passed away over the weekend. Otherwise known as the Calabash female, this leopardess was one of our commonly spotted cats on the Umkumbe traverse. The unmistakeable mark in her left eye that looks like a pterygium made her easily identifiable. She was discovered dead up a tree yesterday, with a male leopard in the same tree. It is thought that the male killed her and there was speculation that he was feeding off her carcass. R.I.P White Dam - your legend will forever live on in our traverse. Thank you to ranger Nadia Bester for these images."
