herself a bit then goes up into the grass
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Brent
and Wium,
Just waiting and talking near the mystery
leopards kill for helping to habituate him to the sound of their voices and the
presence of a vehicle
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Back
to Jamie with Karula
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Brent,
still waiting to see the mystery or Phantom
leopard as Brent is now calling him. No sign of him so he leaves to look around
for animals nearby.
Male Steenbok
Two
coqui francolin
When
Brent returns to the tree with the kill the Mystery "phantom" leopard
is up in the tree feeding on his kill.
I
did take a pic of Brent holding the container to put the cat scat in since this
is a new leopard, in case anyone is wondering about that pic.
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
We
go to Jamie to see Karula lying in the grass.
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
He
relaxes quickly and goes back to eating. After awhile he stands up and turns
around and feeds while facing us WOW, he got use to the vehicle fast Great Job
Brent!!
He
takes the kill higher up in the tree then comes down and lies in the grass.
Brent
manages to get to about 10 meters away from him without a reaction.
Brent
takes some pictures with his camera so he can zoom and see the whisker spots.
While
the leopard is lying in the grass we see him turn his head and hiss twice,
after we look it is a hyena (Corky mother to the Dec twins) looking for scraps.
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Jamie,
A
few more minutes with Karula.
And
a Dung beetle crash lands on her vehicle. She pics it up and shows us.
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Back
to Brent with the male leopard.
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Brent says the Goodbyes and
goodnights for all..
