Na baie jare weer lewendige verkleurmannetjies in ons tuin gewaar

Met die erge droogte hier by ons het ons baie van die omliggende veld diertjies wat in die woon gebiede inkom om kos te soek. Hier by my kom gereeld nou tarentale. Ons het onlangs 'n vier ystervarke gevang en op omliggende wilds plase vry gelaat.

Ons het gedink om hulle te los in die tuin , maar hulle het die blomme en plante redelik vewoes in die nag.
Die honde het ook mal geraak as die ystervarke hulle kos kom eet in die nag. Toe ons Jack Russel een oggend hier rondstap met n pen in sy kop moes ons net n plan maak. Vanghok by die stads polisie geleen en in kwessie van n week vier gevang. Die arme goed het die dorp in gevaar omdat daar niks meer kos in die veld was nie.

My nagapies is bietjie sku, ten spyte van die geraas. Sal kyk of ek 'n foto kan kry...

Interessante thread! Ek het verlede jaar ook n verkleurmannetjie in my tuin gekry, in die verlede nogal baie. Hoe hulle oorleef deur die winter en self's aanteel is ongelooflik!?
Soos ek verstaan speel die regte(inheems) plantegroei n groot rol om diertjies en insekte na n tuin te lok, dit vereis ook minder water..

Wow, in your garden?
I don't know but it looks like a Kaapse Grysbok? Don't know the English name..

Cape Grysbok. Beauts
Years ago my dogs treed a large leguaan and as we were on our way for a long weekend, I called them off thinking that the leguaan would use the respite to make his escape.
Three days later we returned and I found the poor bugger still up the tree and seemingly unable to climb down. Cost me to climb up, grab it by the tail and lower it to a more accessible branch. Then some more of the same until we were low enough and boy, did it hurtle down the slope into the bush.

Yes, Cape Grysbok! Its also part of the "tiny ten"! Others are the blue duiker, grys duiker, red duiker, suni, oribi, steenbok, etc don't know the rest.
Interesting the tiny wildlife..

Are Waterbuck not dangerous with your youngsters going down those roads?

Not sure about the waterbuck but we've had some minor incidents with zebra and wildebeest mock charging when our dogs came too close to young animals
