I'd seriously stopped believing in predators actually existing, having not seen anything bigger than a jackal since I got here four months ago. But this weekend I went with Tania, Vivian, and Thabang to Moholoholo, where they rehabilitate and release whenever possible sick and injured wild animals. Unfortunately, there are always going to be those that are unable to return to the wild, and those ones are kept on by the center for educational purposes, and for tourists. Because, really, who doesn't want to feed a vulture and pet a cheetah? I was a little bit sad that we weren't able to get up-close and personal with all the animals they have there, but at least I've seen them. Lions, by the way, are huge. Hyenas too, are much bigger in person than I thought they were. Also, wild dogs are pretty darn big, and I personally think they're adorable. I want one.
I'll update this post with pictures soon, I promise.
