Leopard Spotted in Grootbos Forest
Captured on a camera trap in a Grootbos Afromontane forest - a new male leopard has claimed his territory.
Our Etymology Team had an incredible experience this week at the neighbouring conservancy property, joining forces with an external researcher in search of exclusion bags used to study specific pollinators. Amidst the breathtaking fynbos landscape, they immersed themselves in a morning of discovery and learning.
Venturing through the diverse flora, they not only assisted with the research effort but also delved into the fascinating world of frogs. Learning to identify these amphibians through their unique morphological traits and distinctive calls added a new dimension to their ecological understanding.
In their exploration, they stumbled upon the captivating beauty of restios, further enriching their appreciation for the intricate ecosystems that surround us.
