This morning we moved Dot to the boma that Cheeky is in to
see if they will react negatively towards each other or if they will befriend
each other making good companions. Unfortunately Dot did not want to stay
inside and she found her way out in between the wires.
We had the small cubs outside in the sun today so their eyes
can adapt and they can get some heat and fresh air. The volunteers took them
for walks so they could stretch their legs and play. The eland had been
released into the 400 ha but unfortunately did not make it. We retrieved the
body and the leg is said to be used as bait to lure the Leopard on the farm so
we can catch it on video camera.
Sierra and Sahara are doing very well and we moved them to
the enclosure next to Trigger due to the bigger space and higher fencing.
Interactions are still being conducted with them.
We had also received a baby warthog that had been injured by
an elder male and so we had to go fetch it, evaluate the situation and
unfortunately it had to be put down. The head was not used for meat but the
body was given to Lex for dinner as there was nothing wrong with the meat.
