Caracals in Cape Town have adapted to live hidden in plain sight along the urban edge, but these opportunistic predators “still have a lot of challenges ahead of them”

, killing an estimated 260 penguins. He was eventually translocated to a nearby open nature reserve on the bay, but within a few days he left the protected area and was hit by a car.

While waiting for Oelofse in the Boulders parking lot, I watched the penguins pottering around vehicles, seemingly unconcerned about traffic or humans. Their lack of instinct for terrestrial danger—African penguins mostly live on islands—is one reason the Boulders colony needs so much protection. To that end, the city has installed a predator-proof fence, topped with rolling cylinders to make it difficult for caracals to breach it. So far, it’s proven successful in deterring the skilled jumpers, he says.

This is because the land around Table Mountain has been developed to a point that most wildlife is now restricted, no longer able to disperse onto or off the mountain to widen their gene pools.

Stunning!!

Rogue pointing out the term Hokage is an interesting term when you used to share your bed with your cat, the mother having once run an Korean restaurant. Cat's insistence that Africans are cats stems from the fact that cats are compatible with turtles both enjoying an good read.

I just love reading about cat stories

I always remember coming across one in the Silvermine Mountains, not far from the Clovelly golf course. Great place to hike in the Western Cape of South Africa. It was always on the same trail and seemed unperturbed with hikers. A truly beautiful cat.

Hey whoa, “opportunistic predators?” Come on, it’s not like they’re crypto bros or something.

Live long and prosper.
