There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

From AfriCat Namibia:

ISASKIA GETS A NEW COLLAR
Isaskia was first collared in 2013 and June 2016 her collar stopped working. She is extremely careful and thus getting her into a box trap was unlikely.

Then beginning 2017 she gave birth to 2 cubs so we put our trapping efforts on hold for the time being. Beginning May 2017 we set another trap but it was still too risky with the 2 cubs being at such a young age.

She started visiting the trap a few times but always with both cubs at her side. So on Saturday 17th June she showed up again and this time we decided to free dart her outside the trap in order to avoid upsetting the little ones.

The darting was a huge success & Isaskia now has a brand new collar and was reunited safely with her two youngsters. She weighed in at 43.2kg's.
