Mara North, you slay us, as do the set of sorcerers (better collective required) that consistently mine from the highest carat faunal seam. George, Jimmy, Saruni et al we thank you. I don’t think you can have herds of leopards but that is what they seem to find. Regularly…!
Someone rang me last week from his game drive (it shouldn’t really be encouraged) to let me know he was on his fifth adult leopard that afternoon…. Lions of course have a proper collective: a pride and the once banished Acacia lions are returning en masse, perhaps to collide with the five male coalition, who we hope avoid the new Gold Leaf cubs.
But what is driving this absurdity: the fact that a good chunk of Africa’s plains game are resident on the succulent recently watered pastures all around camp. This vegan feast-to-go has been noticed by elephants too and the bellowing symphony each night shows that they have little interest in strict mealtimes.
Prides, leaps, herds, flocks, gangs, troops and towers. Someone give us one for guides. Please.
