Lovely sighting KG, and your LO looks like he's getting the bug

Scouter is really good at finding this particular leopard it seems....she is Cagn, who's now moved over from the Auchterlonie area.

Leanawel - That is correct. It looks like she is exploring the Nossob river bed a little.
I've also just taken a look at the leopard that KG posted that jumped out of the tree on the morning drive a few weeks back. I'm also positive from the front right leg spots that this is also Cagn.

KG - where abouts and on what day was that tree sighting??

Astromat,

The leopard out of the tree was at teh 20km mark. She has been hanging around the area for about a week now and two reports of her catching AWC has been reported

Sjoe, very interesting. She is young and thin and has a beautiful name. Hope she will succeed in catching something bigger soon. And that she will stay in that area :thumbs_up:

Wow, great sightings on your walk!

I am happy to hear that there are still some Eland around. Hope they like the area so much that they will linger a bit longer :whistle:

Afternoon,

Quite a while ago the student Field Guide from Nossob came across a 'battle' between a caracal and a Honey Badger, luckily he had his cam with him and too the following footage.

All credit for the footage goes to: Mike Tickle

Enjoy
