Serval release
In October we received a very special animal: A serval cat was accidentally captured on a hunting property near Windhoek as part of jackal control operations.
Leopard with no tail
In October also we received a female leopard with no
tail. Head researcher Florian and volunteer Martin drove over 800km round trip on
one day to collect the leopard. She was captured
on a farm near Otavi, where farmers had lost a calf and it as bait in the trap
to capture the problem leopard. This farmer is generally predator friendly and does
not randomly remove animals, they are aware of at least 4-5 leopards
continually on their farm and never experienced any problems with them prior to
this calf predation incident.
