Some more:
(Dec 2015)

We hit Renosterpan...with some action... :-0

The viewpoint is a bit silly, with the big parking, a row of bushes, and then a narrow road leading in front of the bushes on the water side, which ends up in a tortuous track back to the entry road... 0-

But a couple of tortoises!

Image

At first we thought it was a mother and baby! ^Q^

But it became apparent there was something else going on, and I remembered tortoises don't operate like that in their family structure...

Mp: "Wow, look how fast they are going!"

Pw: "Ja, and the baby follows the mother's every move"

RP: "Maybe it's a daddy wanting to play with the mommy?"


Image

And yes, never seen tortoises move that fast! :shock:

What ensued was a ribald discussion of the merits of this mating thing...we eventually suggested she must just lie down, and Momprins was extremely derisory about the optimism of the little male... :O^

Image

Anyway, they disappeared over the horison, and on cue a visitor arrived:

Image

On the way out we saw cars parked behind the reservoir there...I'm not sure if one is allowed to drive in, but it was a well-worn entrance, so off we went? -O-

Some wallows around, and some more visitors:

Image

Two or three babies together again...saw 4 together on the last trip... :-?
