A new find! To the north of Manyuchi I found a new hyaena den! When I was there at dawn I was greeted by these two little guys. They were just curious to see this strange beast and hung around for ages watching me. Then lying in the den entrance was a female suckling her youngster/s. Her cub/s are really small and I only briefly saw the head of a tiny little black cub. Not more than a week old and hardly mobile. Mom will suckle these youngsters for ages lying right in the hole. Only when they’re a little more mobile will she suckle them out the den. I left mom still holed up and headed west to the Chiredzi River. I had decided I’d drive the whole length of the river today. Near the upper end on the far bank I saw these lions. A lioness and some about one year old cubs. Other than that the river was fairly quiet. I then headed back east to Chiloveka dam where there was considerable bird activity. 5 Black Storks together was a rare find, but they didn’t hang around for me. Several Black-headed Herons were feeding on the shores while a Spoonbill frantically swept the waters as it hunted small aquatic life. And a crocodile lay motionless, as good as being dead, on the sandbank. I headed back north in the late afternoon to Banyini where a troop of baboons had come to drink and take advantage for the green flush that the pan continued to provide, as long as it had water.
