A special friendship

Craig foster said he developed an amazing relationship with an octopus, during his daily dives into the Atlantic side of the Cape Peninsula. For almost a year Mr. Foster had the privilege of visiting an octopus. When the fish became accustomed to his visits, he totally trusts him. When Mr. Foster dived to hunt, the octopus followed him like his friend or his son. The relationship was so strong that the octopus brought Mr. Foster into its secret world.


During his experience Mr. Foster could observe that the life of a fish is so detailed and crazily connected to everything around it. He could also observe that humans are not on a shark's menu, because he could serenely meet a few times with great white sharks deemed to be aggressive hunters of human flesh.

Lion in prison

After a month on the run a lion was found and put in a prison cell where it will be waiting for the zoo keepers.

The lion had been spotted near the city of Beaufort West on March 15 after creeping under an electric fence.

The residents of the area were under tension between the fear of the animal for some and his health for others. During this month, the authorities and caretakers assisted by volunteers searched all traces of the animal until March 15 when it was spotted after eating four sheep and two goats on a Sutherland farm 100 miles from the Park. It was put to sleep and placed in a cell until a suitable cage is found.



Un détenu particulier

Après un mois de fugue le lion a été retrouvé et placé en cellule en attendant les soigneurs du parc national de Karoo.

Il avait été repéré à proximité de la ville de Beaufort West le 15 mars après s’être échappé en passant sous une clôture électrique.

Les habitants de la région étaient sous tension entre la peur de l’animal pour certains et sa santé pour d’autres.

Pendant ce mois, les autorités et les soigneurs aidés par des volontaires ont cherché toute trace de l’animal jusqu’au 15 mars où il a été repéré après avoir dévoré quatre moutons et deux chèvres dans une ferme de Sutherland à 120km du parc animalier. Il a été endormi et placé en cellule par manque de cage appropriée.
