Beaumont’s male: (unknown age) (0 sightings)
We got reports from the Sabi Sands that a male fitting his description was shot in the neighbouring villages in August. Taking his age into account and the fact he was nomadic it is likely that he was indeed the male. A sad end to such a proud creature but leaving the safety of the reserve in search of easier prey and away from the pressure of other males usually ends in this manner. In his later years he still managed to sire the current son of the Jakkalsdraai female. R.I.P

This mature male still seems to be pressing on and holding his small territory around the western bank of the Sand River, although he is not seen often he is still relaxed around the vehicles and makes for good viewing.

Unable to get old it seems. The Beaumont’s male has been on the verge of death for two years now but he still seems as strong as ever. Her is being viewed on Toulon, he isn’t scent marking but is in great shape looks to still be capable of hunting.
