1st May 2000
Still safely stowed in a tree Tjololo’s kill from Friday was untouched.
There was no sign of Tjololo or his kill where we’d left him in the morning. We searched just about his whole territory without a sign. On going back to where we’d had him in the morning we heard him calling to the north and picked him up heading north, but were unable to stay with him as he crossed into a bog. He stayed in the area for some time and kept calling.
Only several hours later did he head north and we were able to follow. Although bulging at the seams he still showed a lot of interest in anything that moved. Getting in close to a Steenbok he was unsure of its exact position but knew it was close. Thrashing his tail in the grass he got the animal to spook and gave chase. The chase through, not around or over, bushes went on some 150m before Tjololo gave up, his belly weighing him down.
His calling increased on reaching the northern part of his territory and he slowly made his way to his impala kill from Friday arriving there at daybreak.
