Tjololo feeling hard done by, decided he too would kill a young kudu calf in the early hours. He stumbled onto the small calf where it had been stashed away by its mother and left to lie low. When Tjololo approached it instinctively stayed down. But unfortunately this time the tactic didn’t work. Tjololo walked straight into it. Later while feeding he suddenly had to scramble up a tree with the carcass when a hyaena arrived.

For most of the night Tjololo had been patrolling to the north of his territory seeming to yet again be pushing his boundaries even further north almost to the Maxipiri river.
In the early evening Tjellers was still with her kudu carcass.
Although no filming was done, the night did provide a lot of interesting little critters. Spotted eagle owl, baby chameleon, small spotted genet, locusts huddled together for the night, chin-spot batis roosting and others.
