Some more animal tidbits for your enjoyment.
A story for Peter Beattie – don’t feed the dingoes. In Kruger Park South Africa in the 90’s some of the park rangers, that’s right the RANGERS, decided that they would get better tip[s from customers if they saw the big 5 in a day.
The leopard is the tricky one. They are numerous but almost impossible to spot. A saying goes|:
‘You don’t choose to see a leopard, it chooses you” (we saw 4 in 2 months and 5 game parks).
The rangers figured out a particular leopard was hanging around close to a camp inside the park, so they started feeding it to guarantee viewings. You can see where this is going to go wrong. BIG cat, expectations…
A jeep full of private tourists came one day and the leopard was hungry. Theswe tourist didn’t have any food. The leopard got angry and lept INTO the jeep (it didn’t have a roof).
Tourists skitz out.
Leopard gets stressed.
LKeoprad jumps from tourist o tourist, ripping their guts open.
6 dead.
Innocent people.
Laws regarding roofs on jeeps changed.
