Our beautiful caracals are receiving a lot of attention at the moment as Johannes has started to take them on a walk each day with the volunteers. Cleo and Medusa lead the way (with tracking collar attached in case they take the lead a little too much!) and seem to relish the opportunity to put their hunting skills to good use.
On one walk recently, Cleo showed off her hunting instinct as she quickly dashed into a bush, leaving the group, where she hid for a few minutes. Whilst everyone else was speculating as to what she was up to, she was busy with a mongoose she had found! The mongoose didn’t stand much of a chance and Cleo emerged from the bush, standing tall and proud!
As Yoda isn’t tame enough to be taken out on walks he stays in the camp with Gudiva who keeps him company. However, they’re never short of attention and are always near the fence when people pass by to say hello.
