First off, on the 5th of Ocktober 2 young lady's who stayed at La plume near Oudtshoorn came on the tour with me. I forgot to get their e-mail address. So if it was you please send me a message so that i can send you your photo's. On this same morning we found a steenbok on the main road that was hit by a car, it had concussion. The Vet gave it some antibiotic's and pain killers and he is recovering very fast.
Liefie is progressing very well in her pregnancy and is getting bigger every day.
Two days ago something happened that i cannot understand. Now you know that when a young male reach sexual maturity, they are kicked out to go and find a female and start their own family. And you remember the young male Boeta that left about a month or so back. Well i was at the site the day before yesterday when i noticed a strange meerkat about 200 meters away and i braced myself for a battle when this intruder started coming closer.
But no one raised the alarm they just let him keep coming closer, and with me standing between the intruder and the family, i thought he would at least shy away, so i stood my ground and watched as he just walked past me at about 2 meters away as if he owned some property there.
He walked up to the family and they came running up to him with their tails up and started grooming him as if he is the prodigal son.
Has he learned some of Molly's tricks or is his cent so close to his father's that the rest of them does not smell the difference.
