Evander and Holly are back... we waited sooo long to be able to see
them... man-o-man... we even tought the old girl was dead but here
they are with two of the three cubs of last year.
Actually we did see her before, few days ago when she passed close to
camp and with my friends we tried to follow before they disappeared
into the bush without us being able to identify them.
But now here we are... they are by the side of a small giraffe they
killed in the morning... the mother still in the background watching.
Evander is unmistakable, her cut ear, her scar on the lip from the
kudu kill last september, her pale coat... she is ugly but I love her,
Holly still powerful and strong, the cubs, one female and one male
healthy and curious.
The male saw some movement in the bush and approached silently.. one
after the other two big egyptian mongoose came out of the ticket
startling the male that was not even able to put together a bit of a
chase.... still long way to go before being a good hunter... but he is
lucky, he has good teachers.
Evander moved down and started drinking in a supersmall pool close to
the cement drift, just below us and then went to her family again...
My girls are back... Happyness!
