I really wasn't aware of the 31st. I had always assumed you saw the caracal later on that day when we left.

Changed the title accordingly. \O

Easter was from 29 March to 1 April and the time Mel saw her caracal fits in perfectly. Jaap's post was made on the 3 April, but the photo might have been taken earlier. \O
