Reporting Date: 2.6.2012
A few days ago we pointed that the sopa pride has a preference of taking buffaloes for their daily meal.The herd on the other hand is doing well healthwise, since over the last three years the rain pattern in the reserve has been good facilitating good pastures for all the herbivores. Ferdinard on game drive found this herd near makari salt lick
