Its been just over a month since we released 4 year old male Boris back to the wild and we are pleased to say that he is doing extremely well. His Sirtrack
collar has sent a GPS point every morning around 6:00am and these
points are shown in the picture below. His movements since the release
show that for now he prefers an area at the base of a mountain range
located just inside the Namib Naukluft Park, we believe the points
showing him in the plains towards the river are the times when he is
hunting. The fact he is settled in this area must mean he is having
successful hunts and does not feel threatened by any other carnivores
that may be in the same area. For his first month of release we couldn't
have wished for a better start, we will continue to monitor him and
hope his success continues!
