Despite many threats to their survival, free-ranging wild dogs still occur in the mountainous landscape of the Waterberg, Limpopo. The Waterberg includes a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and is an area of high conservation importance due to the many endemic species found in the region. Many of the land uses in the Waterberg include ecotourism, hunting, and game ranching, which are conducive to conserving natural habitat for wildlife, including free-
ranging carnivores such as African wild dogs.

South Africa's national rugby team, with its rich history and significance, is a symbol of unity and pride, as exemplified by Nelson Mandela's support for the sport. It's indeed a rugby nation to be reckoned with.

๐Ÿ’กThe springbok or springbuck (๐˜ผ๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™™๐™ค๐™ง๐™˜๐™–๐™จ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ง๐™จ๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™–๐™ก๐™ž๐™จ) is a medium-sized antelope found mainly in south and southwest Africa.

The springbok has been a national symbol of South Africa since the 20th century. It was adopted as a nickname or mascot by several South African sports teams, most famously by the national rugby union team. Also, the winged springbok served as the logo of South African Airways from 1934 to 1997. The springbok is the national animal of South Africa.

The species was named ๐™‡๐™š ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ช๐™˜๐™ค๐™ช ๐™™๐™š ๐™†๐™ก๐™–๐™–๐™จ by French explorer Franรงois Le Vaillant in 1806, in his book ๐™ƒ๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ž๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ง๐™š๐™ก๐™ก๐™š ๐™™๐™š๐™จ ๐™ค๐™ž๐™จ๐™š๐™–๐™ช๐™ญ ๐™™'๐˜ผ๐™›๐™ง๐™ž๐™ฆ๐™ช๐™š in recognition of his Khoikhoi servant and assistant, named Klaas, who found the type specimen.

๐ŸŽตThe Afrikaans name meitjie is derived from its call, meitjie, meitjie, meitjie, an onomatopoeic rendition of the name for a young maidservant.

Klaas's cuckoo is 16โ€“18 cm (6.3โ€“7.1 inches) in length. The species exhibits sexual dimorphism. Males have a glossy green body with few markings and plain white underparts. Females have a bronze-brown body, greenish wing coverts and faintly barred white underparts. Viewed in flight, the male is largely white with dark primaries and females appear mostly brown. Males and females both have a small white post-ocular patch.

๐Ÿ’กThey parasitise a wide variety of hosts of three main groups โ€“ sunbirds, batises and warblers. Over the millennia, brood parasitic species and their hosts have been locked in an evolutionary struggle (this has also been compared to an โ€˜arms raceโ€™) with the host evolving strategies to minimise the threats of parasitism, while the cuckoos evolved ways of improving their successes.

๐Ÿ’กAt Dabchick Wildlife Reserve we have a breeding pair as summer visitors, present between September and March. Fairly common and widespread across the Waterberg, less so in the surrounding thorn savanna (61% in, 39% out; recorded in 54% of the Waterberg pentads); frequents woodland; would be much overlooked were it not for the male's characteristic 'meitjie' call.

Stunning photo!

Another highlight at #AACAA8 was Dr Peter Oberemโ€™s presentation on "Wild Meat Value Chains and Potential in Sub-Saharan Africa" that presented the opportunity of sustainable game ranching and wild meat/game meat production.

The need for such initiatives is underscored by challenges like a growing population, limited suitable land for traditional agriculture, poverty, and climate change. Game ranching is positioned as a solution, offering benefits such as food security, economic stability, job creation, and environmental restoration. The potential for wild meat/game meat is emphasised, given its global scarcity and health benefits compared to intensively farmed livestock.

This approach could provide food security, create jobs, boost economic growth, and address surplus animal populations/carrying capacity. It also offers environmental benefits like rewilding and carbon sequestration. However, constraints include legislative hurdles, bureaucratic challenges, opposition from anti-hunting groups, and disease control issues.

In conclusion, Dr Oberem calls for concerted efforts to seize this golden opportunity to contribute to Sustainable Development Goals and address pressing regional challenges.

๐Ÿ’กThere are many differences between South Africaโ€™s two rhinoceros species, but colour, as the name might imply, is not one of them. It is unclear where the respective names โ€“ black and white โ€“ originate, as they are both grey.

Their skin colour is variable, and is dependent on the colour of the mud in which they most recently wallowed.

The major differences between the two species are that the white rhino is much larger (up to two-and-a-half tons), has a prominent nuchal hump on the neck, and an angular projection on the backbone that shows prominently when viewed from the side. The white rhino characteristically holds its head low and has a wide, square lip evolved for grazing grass.

Black rhinos are significantly smaller (up to 1.4 tons) and have a more โ€˜streamlinedโ€™ appearance. Being browsers, black rhinos hold their heads higher and have a prehensile, hooked lip that has evolved for leveraging browse into the mouth. Both species occur in the Kruger National Park and its surrounding areas, but while white rhinos are relatively common, it is still rare to see a black rhino.

Worldwide, there are three other species of rhinoceros still extant (not extinct). These are the
Sumatran (Asian two-horned rhino), the Indian (greater one-horned rhino), and the Javan (lesser
one-horned rhino).

Adult rhinos have almost no natural enemies. Small calves can be vulnerable to predators like lions
and hyenas, but vigorous defence by the mother is usually sufficient to deter them. Rhinos are sometimes seen with only one, or no, ears โ€“ this is usually due to attacks by hyenas when they were
young. The fact that they survived is testimony to the aggressive defence put up by the mother.

Natural disasters like prolonged droughts may have some impact on rhino populations. In Tsavo National Park in Kenya, a burgeoning elephant population caused many black rhinos to die off due to over-utilisation of browse in their habitats.

โ€ผ๏ธBut the major threat to the ongoing existence of both species is poaching by man.

๐Ÿ’กDr Cindy Harper of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria, Onderstepoort, outlines the genetic diversity between different rhino species and -subspecies and what it means for their survival and conservation. Through their massive efforts and using cutting-edge DNA techniques, the smallest piece of rhino horn found anywhere in the world can be traced back to the source, literally to the exact animal on a specific game ranch in South Africa.

๐Ÿ’กDr Morne de la Rey shares his heroic attempts to use the latest, innovative reproductive techniques to save the northern white rhino from extinction.

I am thankful that i want to play my part in the conservation of the rhino.

Conservation is in my blood

They're all around us here, in Northern Natal and very inundating, when you're close up to them.

๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ˜ Sweet ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ˜ Cool Dude

Let's protect our precious Rhino from extinction. Stupid people can't or won't realize that Rhino horn is only keratin just like our hair and nails. It DOES NOT have magic properties. EISH!!!
