The injured eye can already be seen in the original photo on July 17. Anderson will see well. ♥

Hi Iren,
Apologies, I didn’t see your original comment on the July 17th post. It will be interesting to see too what extent the injury heals…

I have enjoyed all of the news I receive daily, but was really struck by the pic of the giraffe eating a bone! Wow

Great pictures. Happy about Anderson, didn`t expect it by seeing him in July.

Hi James,great blog as usual.
I’m looking forward to the blog concerning the Anderson male,but he looks to be in great shape even with only one eye.You mentioned in the blog that he is steadily encroaching south of the river,that puts Mashaba and Nkoveni’s litters in danger because the Flat Rock male is fighting a losing battle against the Anderson male,he won’t be able to protect them.Have you sexed the cubs of the Nhlanguleni female?

Hi Alexander,
At first glance it looks like one female and one male, but I’ve only seen them twice and didn’t get a good look. It may well be two females.

One of the best week of photo’s ever, James! Such diversity … so good! I’ll have to look and re-read again later. Only time will tell if the eye and vision was severely damaged. One can only hope for the best, but that was a severe and traumatic injury to recover from. Again thanks James, you’re the best!
