Anonymous Avatar is of Karula female leopard. May 1, Thanks, BBE. I remember first watching this cam years ago. I wasn't making videos at that time. I would just stare at the pond.. Jean, California. The following posts in quotes were written in the topic for 'WildEarth Safari Drives' before I started this topic. There are large numbers in Mashatu and they have to have water, so they will come to Pete's Pond.
The picture on the left was taken in summer, when there is a lot more water round, but for these elephant, the pond was still the best choice for refuelling. Below is a panorama looking towards the hide at Pete's Pond, taken in January If any nostalgic "Pondies" would like to downlaod a full-size image x pixels, file size KB you can do so from here.

The Limpopo? Also, how long would you think it will stay with no other crocs? I would think sooner or later mating season would call. Also somewhat surprised no other crocodiles show up here. Was this one brought here? Thanks for putting up with my questions.
The crocodile you saw is probably a permanent resident, though they are not restricted to the pond and can move freely Mashatu is at the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe rivers. Very true Micheal, nature is definitely NOT for the faint of heart. There was a rain storm on the 22nd. For a couple night after the rain, there was a lot of frog song and croc activity. They appeared to be fishing for catfish. I counted 4 in a group at one time. Have I noticed a 2nd crocodile at the pond?
How does a crocodile get to the pond? How far away is the Limpopo River or wherever the crocs would be coming from? Thank you for any info and keep up the great work! Large Reedbuck standing alone by the pond — over to the left of the camera — before dawn. He appeared mortally wounded. His lower jaw was hanging and the tongue was badly mutilated, which seemed to be his only injuries. A pack of 6 large hyenas circled him for quite some time and backed him into the water almost up to his belly.
With regards to the recent discovery of 96 elephants killed by poachers in Botswana, I am concerned for the family that visits the water hole regularly. Have there been any sightings and are they okay? I just witnessed a lot of human activity to the right of the observation hut — where the fish eagle perches on the dead tree — off in the distance. Several vehicles — at least 6 — came rushing in silently and there appeared to be many people walking about using flashlights to see into the bush areas.
Please tell us what is going on. A few weeks ago, there was 2 or 3 local men by the water beside the hut to the left of the camera pole during the daytime. Then the heavy car and flashlight activity the other night. Two days ago, there were women talking in the area behind the camera.
