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


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

you spoke to me about the Caracal.... but it's very rare to find the same predator, at the same place, a day after... so I drove the dunes road 0*\ 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
