Exeter is situated within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, renowned for having the best Big Five game-viewing in South Africa, if not the world.The Reserve is famous for its incredible leopard sightings. The Sabi Sand leopards have grown accustomed to safari vehicles, thereby permitting close up sightings and extraordinary photographic opportunities.
Lions Kill White Rhino
The coalition of male lions at Exeter has finally killed again, this after numerous failures earlier in the week. Amazingly, four of the six males killed a sub-adult White Rhino last night. This is not their first attempt at Rhino, although previous attempts had been unsuccessful. This extends their impressive list of prey animals that includes buffalo, giraffe, hippo and other lions. The carcass was full of scratches around the rump area and had been opened up from the stomach. It didn’t seem as though they had suffocated the animal so we assume that it was overpowered and then disemboweled. The rhino also had a broken front leg (Whether this occurred during the struggle or not is still debatable). We look forward to the interaction over the next few days, particularly when the two other males find the carcass.
