The Tjololo Diaries

8th June 2000
With the new camera system installed, but audio still being tested, we headed out late on the trail of Tjololo.
The Mala Mala rangers had Tjololo and his northern neighbour sizing each other up again. When we got there they had already moved apart and Tjololo was hunting.
The machine that he is, he soon killed a young male impala. He fed ravenously, as if he hadn’t eaten in weeks. After resting a short while he tucked in to more food, making space for it where there wasn’t any. Partial able to walk with his belly swaying from side to side he headed south.


Interestingly he left the carcass on the ground and never returned to it all night. At dawn when we left him he was a long way south of the kill and showing no signs of returning.
Was he concerned with the other male finding him with a carcass in his newly “taken over” territory? Is Tjololo losing a bit of territory to this other male? Only time will tell.
