Caracal walk at N/a’an ku sê

Up early one Tuesday. Driving west of Windhoek with a temperature of 5 below zero! Rewarded on arrival with a great breakfast. N/a’an ku sê!

Driving in the cold…

…and  putting the young ones on a backie.

Arriving – and who is in the  cage?

This young pretty female – a Caracal!

We were out  at N/a’an ku sê to take a cool walk with a Caracal.

She loved it, was very aware of her possibilities…

…and soon caught a bird in flight. She  came back to show us and then it disappeared – not a feather was left. 

And there was more. A jump over a hassock and…

…she came back with a mouse that was soon totally gone.

Maybe we think it is cruel but it is also fantastic to be able to be out in a nature with a small carnivore…

…like  the Caracal. A beautiful and very capable hunter.
