Frankie

10/10

Yesterday was a bit of an uneventful day. Did LMT in the morning, presented Galerella Sanguinea (Slender mongoose) after lunch and went for spotlighting in the evening.
The highlight of the day however was ID’ing the leopard and hyena we saw the day before. Turns out the leopard called “Bond”, was already in the system (as it has a distinguishable “smiley face” pattern on the top of his back) and so was the hyena, except the hyena did not yet have a name. I had the privilege of naming him/her (we don’t know the sex yet). Let me introduce you to “Frankie”!! It is such an amazing feeling knowing that even when I go back home, there will be a hyena named Frankie living his/her life and I have had the honour of seeing him in his natural habitat.

Today we did an 8km scat walk. The hike was supposed to be 10km originally, but we sighted a couple of poachers and decided to turn around. It was getting too hot anyways, hehe.

Hope you guys are all doing great. Miss you heaps and can’t wait to share all the photos with you! I have so many J
