Good night Africa!

[alice44]

I watched a clip on facebook from -- I am not sure when (I will try to find out). Evening of the 27th I think.

Quarantine was in a tree with his impala, Kenyuma and two hyenas were on the ground (patiently waiting) and then a pack of wild dogs showed up. (I think the smaller of the two packs we sometimes see.) One of the hyenas got in a fight with some dogs -- lots of sound. Kenyuma went up a bushwillow and I think the other hyena got away from the dogs. Very exciting! And interesting that Kenyuma and Quarantine have now been spotted at least twice very near to one another.

I wonder if it is sign they will be moving on soon.

Maybe it was the morning sighting from a few days ago, but I think it was newer and it seemed to be evening. I missed some sort of excitement one morning when one of the hyenas was bitten by a dog.

April 28

This morning hyenas were under a tree while a leopard -- probably Quarantine was up the tree with his prey. He dropped the horns and hyena carried them away.

The tree is out of the drive area, so Brent could not get all that close.
