We can't say for 100% but it is very, very likely that Corinne has moved on. She has been struggling to hunt food for a couple of weeks now and hurt herself badly in an unfortunate hunt around the 20th this month. After that she barely moved from the spot. And she was last seen on the 25th dragging herself up the dunes behind Kij Kij waterhole. The next morning lots of jackals were seen in the very same spot where Corinne had last been seen. Given her condition and her age it is rather unlikely that she'll make a recovery.

On a positive note... Hanri is still keeping well. She has just killed a baby wildebeest yesterday.

Same age as they were born in one litter \O

But Corinne has always be the slender one who often looked frail when she had gone for days without a kill. Now combine old age and an injury and a small body frame... That's what basically happened to her. :-(
