Flavour of the Month - June 2013: H7 (Orpen - Satara)

[Dindingwe]

Just at the crossroad with the road to Tamboti, we saw two male Lions (probably brothers) hunting a young Buffalo. One of the brothers remained lying down, leaving the other dragging the Buffalo to the shade. But he then joined him to eat...

Herre, Dingwe!

When was all this??

It was at different times. Honay-Badger and Chhetahs in November 2015, Leopard in December 2015 and Lions in July 2016. It has been quite a long time I have not been on the H7...

One car is parked on our side of the road and another races pass him, as we get closer I see a snake wriggling and another part that is squished, I start swearing as it can only mean that the racing car squished the poor snake. BUT WAIT. The snake is fine and it is in fact a squished frog, and the snake has calmed down and is actually slithering towards the snake. I can’t believe what I’m going to see now, a snouted night-adder that is going to eat a frog…

This shows how small the snake was



And what follows is not for sensitive viewers, but totally for those snake lovers (MY type of people)

















It then slithered off underneath our car and into the bushes.
