6th December 2000
Tjololo was sure slow off the mark tonight. He had moved into the Sand river when we found him before sunset and ended up resting there till after 22h00. With a well formed stomach and the temperature being fairly hot he’d taken it upon himself to take a “well deserved” rest. Well he seemed to think so.
When he did get on the move it was in fits and starts heading north. But again the scent of young impala was too much for him and he headed across country to tackle another unsuspecting youngster. He nearly lost it to a hyaena as he rested at the base of a tree catching his breath, but was able to hoist his kill just in time.
As usual that was him done for the night. Only much later in the night did he feed, and then he only snacked on the carcass.
3 visiting hyaenas decided to take their chances and waited in the area but with no luck this time.
