DRIVE CAM 11/12 PM DRIVE

Got on and although they are hard to see saw some Waterbuck at Gowrie. Landie should be starting up soon !

Right off, a young Bull Ellie. Rexon said he was walking 'very proud'.

Came across a baby Terepin ...

Rexon tried to catch it for us to see closer but it 'went under'.

So, off we go and look a Hippo !

Just hanging around the waterhole.

Came upon a Leopard track. Crossing my fingers !

Quick jump back at Gowrie and it's a Male Nyala.

Another Ellie. This one is expecting very soon, according to Rexon. Has a 'very big tummy' LOL.

Young female with the herd. Was very curious and came up to the landie for a sniff !

Sunset time

Dagga boy crossing !

Lone Rhino. 3 of the big 5. All that's left is a Leopard and a Lion. Rexon explained how the Big 5 got named while we were watching the Hippo. Seems that each of the Big 5 (Lion, Leopard, Ellie, Rhino and Buff) will fight back when being hunted. Hippo isn't in there because it doesn't fight back. Interesting little fact.

.

Then Rexon get very excited and pulls off the road. And my Player freezes up ! Ended up booting me off. Too bad to because from what I hear it was a Leopard. Not only that, they end up spotting another one later in the Drive ! So I missed not only 1 but 2 Leopards today. Very seriously thinking of staying up late and trying to catch the next Drive. Maybe they will both still be around.
