There is clearly an issue with holes or broken fence in that area if animals keep escaping from the same location. Very disappointing to hear but glad in this case they were able to bring her back without any issues.

Yeah definitely an issues there, as Talamatis also almost escaped out,also Hukumuri..

Funny how they could darted Ximhungwe lioness, but they couldn't do the same with Hukumuri..

As I understand it, the problem with leopards is that they can get over the fence and once Hukumuri found out a source of easy meal, being pushed out and nomadic, nothing was stopping him getting back and with small children involved ...

Lions were a different case, the hole was related to a storm (cyclone hit at the end of January around the time), once repaired that should not be an ongoing issue. Lion actually going out, possibly in similar area is not good at all though, but at least that is solveable, lions are not dogs or leopards for which the fence is just mere hindrance.

Ofc it is entirely possible stories told might have holes in them, but we can only speculate then. I would rather leave that to Mapgo crazies claiming how Mr T was for sure darted so Majingilane could finish Kinky Tail alone and such :)

That comment about the Mapogo cracked me up, as I had read the exact same story on FB, and came in here inquiring about it's source, claiming the guides actually killed off the Mapogo for controlling too much land mass, that and the Elephant Plains conspiracy. Seems with that coalition, it can never simply be lions being lions, which is to say unpredictable, always needs to be some high level government conspiracy that brought about their end. Reply
