NEW ADDITIONS & NAUGHTY ZEBRAS - 25/2/18






 NEW ADDITIONS AND NAUGHTY ZEBRAS – 25/2/18



We’ve had several reports of new babies – other zebra herds have new additions as well as new Buffalo calves, bushbuck and elephants.

The resident Zebra herd that hang around Lomagundi Lakeside have a new addition to their family.

This cute, fluffy little youngster is full of energy and very inquisitive!

 
  

The adults in this herd are very naughty – they have learnt how to open the garden tap with their teeth to drink! Clever….. except they forget to switch off the running tap when they’ve finished having their drink!

BRAND NEW ZEBRA FOAL- 4TH DECEMBER 2017 Natureways Safaris kindly forwarded these photos of this wobbly legged newbie less than 24 hours old, seen at Mica Point. ZEBRA COLT WITH LOOSE SNARE  13 JUNE 2017 A Resident returning home from assisting with daily snare patrol drop offs reported this Zebra colt with a fresh wire SNARE loosely around his neck and trailing behind and catching on their hooves. Within minutes of the above report, Parks called us with the same report - Peters Point and Camp Hill turn off just before the dam wall. Another small herd came in before the darting and there was much tip toeing around each other, baring of teeth and flattened ears before they all calmed down and greeted each other.   This was a very difficult area to work in with cliffs, holes, gulley’s, fences and poles with wire stays as well as a very busy main road. A huge movement of light and very heavy vehicles in this area due to the ongoing in
