Sunny Day at Samara


Today is a great sunny day with blue skies. Three volunteers left this morning, and another one is coming in today. It’s kind of sad to see Drew leave, because he has been here before I got here, and also Alwyn left for his vacation, so I’m going to have to man the braai, and do more than usual which will be good. We took a group picture of all of us last night. We went to find Sabella again today, because we think that she has given birth to her cubs and want to see her with them. If she has already given birth, she most likely has them hidden up in the mountainside somewhere, or in a thick bush, while she hunts during the day. While I was tracking her with the telemetry, I nearly ran right into her, and she let me know by giving me a noticeable hiss. I quickly backed up, and she became relaxed again. It seems that she has become more agitated with humans lately, and this may be because she has cubs that she wants to keep protected. We are going to Graaf Reinet tonight for dinner, which will be a nice change of pace for food. Hopefully we will get a good burger or pizza! Last night I made burritos for everyone, and they all agree that I should set up a burrito restaurant. I’m going to name it “Lekker Burritos” which means amazing or unbelievable burritos. There are no Chipotle-like restaurants in South Africa, and everyone here agrees that it would be a huge hit.
