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 Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"Maxabeni and the Tatowa female were found mating last night, and by the frequency of their bouts, it is still in the early stages."

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"Last night White Dam's cub was spotted in a dead Jackalberry tree, looking very comfortable and full. Later on, he had a little altercation with a few hyenas before promptly making a dash 
for it and disappearing into the darkness."

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"We found White Dam’s cub atop a termite mound last night. He was looking a little hungry so we followed him for some time and he came across an impala ram which he proceeded to stalk for about an hour but when found again this morning, it appears he was unlucky."

Rock Drift Male (Tjololo)

*This image is copyright of its original author

2000

JANUARY 2000

Location: CENTRAL WEST FLOCKFIELD/ CENTRAL CHARLESTON

(12 sightings)
The Rock Drift Male again provided some good viewing during January and has certainly consolidated his hold on the central and southern areas of Mala Mala. His behaviour indicates that he is still expanding his territory slightly, now being seen regularly west of the Kapen River and close to the Sand River. His northward movements seem to be as far as the Kapen River where it flows more east-west and he has now been encountered as far south as the Sand River where it flows east-west. This territory then includes at least three female leopards, these being the Kapen and Chellahanga Females and the female which has a territory to the north east of the Chellahanga Female. How the death of the Island Crossing Male will affect things will need to be seen, but if the Rock Drift Male does move west to incorporate the eastern bank of the Sand River on Charleston and Toulon, then this would put him squarely into the territory of the Toulon Female which has a male cub of a year or so of age. Since this cub was fathered by the Island Crossing Male and is still dependent upon the Toulon Female, he would be in danger of being killed by the Rock Drift Male. Several of the sightings of the Rock Drift Male were of him with impala kills. The energy required to regularly patrol his territory can be seen with the speed with which these kills have been consumed. Any neglect on territory maintenance would be quickly picked up by other eager male leopards and acted upon, so not only are kills consumed with speed, but also as soon as this has happened, the Rock Drift Male paces off to patrol.

I don't understand what do you mean Fursan. 

Anyway, Tjololo is a true legend in the Sabi Sand. This good informations, is better insert them in Leopard Directory.

That is odd, it shouldn't be happening. I'll try to find out what is happening.
