On its last legs: each step looked like the last: wobbly and uncertain and tired and laborious. I don’t think this one will love much longer. Apparently the energy to find suitable grass is more than they can get from the grass that they can find. The first sufferers of the drought.
I apologize for re loading this sighting, but tried to delete the duplicate and it deleted all entries.
Not sure who supplied correct species & subsp., but thank you.
We happened upon this chap in Mnjoli Dam. Presumably getting irritated with helicopter flying overhead s/he sought solitude among a herd of cattle on the side.
No scavengers in evidence. We thought perhaps the current over the weir (Sabie River) might be too strong. Yet the next day there was no sign at all of the carcass - even downstream as far as we could see. No indication of cause of death of large female.
