However, during this LIVE event, often Ranger Campbell could barely be heard over all the birds. Apparently even an Eagle flew over them and landed on a tree right behind them. We had so much fun watching all of this.

No sooner did Ranger Campbell get back into the swing of things when those two very noisy Geese landed in the pond. Then it really got noisy... Smiling

During Ranger Campbell's Interview, he pointed up to the sky and told us an Eagle was flying over their heads. Do we know what kind of an Eagle it was?

1995 - 2007 ( november)

The Rock Drift male (Tjololo)

TJOLOLO - THE LEGENDPublished by Wildcaster 2 months, 1 week ago Tags: africa, animal kingdom, conservation, education, Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, leopard, mala mala, national geographic, Open Content Alliance, peace parks, photos, predators, teach, wildcasting, wildlife.

TJOLOLO – THE LEGEND
This morning Tjololo was found on Mala Mala in a really bad way.
His was very lean, his coat looking terrible and had many porcupine quills stuck in his body. A vet was called in and Tjololo was darted. He had quills in his throat his chest and even his paws. Some quills about 5 inches deep in his body. The vet removed these all and cleaned him up, but Tjololo never came round again after antidote was administered.
This was probably the best way for him to go, as he would probably just have continued to suffer in ill health.

I first saw Tjololo in 1999 as a young 4 year old leopard setting up his territory on Mala Mala Game Reserve. It was then I made a film about him, “Stalking Leopards” for National Geographic. I spent 18 months in the field with him following his every movement every day. He became a close friend as this image alone speaks to.
Tjololo had just killed this kudu cow and was dragging it off. I got out the vehicle and lay on the ground to take photos. He could drag the carcass anywhere, but wanted to go where I was lying, and so did just that. He dragged the kudu within touching distance of me and didn’t so much as give me a glance. What a trusting dude.

He was small male leopard but feisty. As time went by Tjololo began to take control of a larger territory encompassing nearly the whole of Mala Mala. On several occasions he came across much bigger males who we thought were REAL dudes and in just about every confrontation the little man came out the victor. And then in time he started trespassing outside Mala Mala still increasing his domain. He RULED!
But in the last 6 months his condition has been seen to deteriorate as he’s been getting on and would now be 12 years old. Not a bad innings for a male leopard.
I left Mala Mala in 2005 in which time I’d made another 2 films, “Predators at War” and “Hyena Queen”, both of which featured Tjololo in numerous sequences.
He also did me really proud when he was the feature of my cover story in the National Geographic Magazine 2001.
He was a very special leopard and I’m just so grateful to have shared so much time with him.

Another piece of info was learned about Ranger Campbell. Jon referred to him as Giraffe a few times. So I asked Ranger Campbell why are you called that? Apparently Ranger Campbell is 6'6" tall. So it would seem he is almost as tall as a Giraffe..... Smiling

Hinged Terrapin

?? - IF WRONG LET ME KNOW ( THANK)

The female lays 7 - 25 eggs, up to 500 m

The Serrated Hinged Terrapin (Pelusios sinuatus) They get the name "hinged" because they have a hinge on their shell which allows them to close it after they pull their head and front legs in. They are mostly found in permanent water (rivers, lakes and waterholes) and are often seen basking on rocks, logs or the shoreline. They are carnivorous feeding mostly on mulluscs and snails but they will also eat small fish and frogs or even insects. They are happy to eat carrion when they find it
