I hope you will have a great week. The forests are home to the African elephant - in the last count (2017-2019) there was just one single adult female, age 45 years, surviving😔 There is however an elephant's sanctuary that we visited. Leopard, bushbuck, blue duiker, bushpig and other mammals are also found here. The area has a rich assortment of birds including the near-endemic Knysna lourie, Knysna warbler, Knysna woodpecker and a lot more. Birds of prey found here include the crowned eagle and the African wood owl. An amazing forest indeed. “Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill.” - John Muir ps. I wanted to post a photos of me where I'm with an elephant in the sanctuary. But I'm scared that OF will ban me again for "beast1ality". Last time I got banned for 3 days just standing with a few horses! There are about 8 elephants in the sanctuary. It is a photo of me standing in front of the elephant, touching it's trunk.
