Arriving at the scene of the stalemate the situation had changed. Tjololo had just retrieved the carcass from the hyaena, not sure how, and was in the tree feeding with hyaena staring up at him, tongue hanging out.
That was Tjololo for the night. We left to find other activity. While having a coffee and sandwich break we heard rhinos fighting in the distance and eventually found them in the river having just split up. The rhino still in the river had taken a serious bashing, bleeding and badly scarred.
Getting back to Tjololo around midnight he’d moved a way off from the carcass calling repeatedly for about half an hour before returning to his kill. Not sure what the calling was about, possibly responding to a female or keeping a rival off his boundary.
Although Tjololo is a lot better he still finds it sore to groom himself and only does so to remove an itch.
Back at the wild dog den the 8 pups where out lying huddled up in a tight ball catching the first rays. This bundle of pups was continuously on the move as they competed with each other to be in the centre. The warmest spot.
