There are very few records of hyaenas having 3 cubs. Usually they have 1 or 2. Not surprising when they only have 2 teats. So for this hyaena to have 3 is really unusual and one wonders if they’ll all survive.

Still no luggage! But I’m all set to go the Emmy’s in an hour’s time. And still no shoes, they’re in my suitcase. But then I’m always bare-foot so why should I wear any tonight.

More fires as Mala Mala carried on with their controlled burning for the last time this season. I managed to get some great material of the fire that raged with a strong wind behind it. Getting the best shots one is always at risk and on a number of occasions a sudden gust of wind nearly had us enveloped by the flames. All in all we got some exciting stuff.

Tjololo followed the river for most of the night and although the gash is still very open it is clean and the swelling in his elbow has gone. He’s very much on the road to recovery. He did have a hunting attempt on an impala but messed it up.
By dawn he was right in the north of his territory again, resting up in the Kapen river a while after sunrise.
