8th December 2000
First thing in the afternoon we returned to the White Cloth female. She was still in the same place in the thicket. One of the cubs was with her and the other a way off in another thicket. This didn’t help us much and as it got dark we left them. I also didn’t want to be there after dark when hyaenas are very much on the move again, as I didn’t want to be responsible for any mishaps.
Setting off in search of Tjololo there was no sign of him in the area and suspecting he’d moved west we searched in vain. Only on returning to the area of the White Cloth female again did we find him on the move west moving along the trail of buffalo periodically stopping to lick on buffalo dung. He continued on west and into the river when it started raining and we had to cover up.
The rain let up in the early hours and Tjololo was still in the area obviously having holed up in the rain too. On the move again when we found him he was heading back east again. This was rather odd.
He continued east much further than we’d ever known him to go before. At first I thought he was returning to a kill he’d made in the area we’d found him earlier in the evening but soon continued on east of that. A while after sunset he was now approaching the Kruger boundary and the rain struck again. We had to leave him but will see this afternoon what he’s been up to.
