@mayblossom27 @RalphKirsten1 @JamesRAHendry That was me. To this day, no one official has ever noticed or removed the Blackadder reference I hid in there. One of my proudest achievements.

@mayblossom27 😂😂In fairness, not all that far-fetched here!
Admittedly this has become less funny because the electricity has been off since the transformer went boef and now my milk is sour.

[Jamie Paterson @jamiepaterson4]

Today's reason for our electricity outage.
This indeed ain't Texas. It's Pretoria North.

[Jamie Paterson @jamiepaterson4]

@mayblossom27 I didn't translate it because I thought it wasn't as funny in English. I was wrong 😂
Though the onomatopoeic hilarity of the word "geboef" is a little muddled in translation.

[Jamie Paterson @jamiepaterson4]

@simone_venter1 I'll be mad about our geboefte transformer when I eventually stop laughing 🤣🤣

[Jamie Paterson @jamiepaterson4]

Of old friends and new battle scars.

What a special thing it is to "know" a wild creature for nearly a decade.

Tis the season to be fat and sleepy...

While at #wildearth, I promised a live chat for those asking about vet school. If you are at all interested, please feel free to join me on YouTube on Saturday the 30th of December at 7PM after the sunset safari.

@giraffegirl68 Thank you for this memory - it was a lovely day!

[Jamie Paterson @jamiepaterson4]

@MichaeFleetwood Right against the north western corner of Tumbeta, at the fence line. So between the Philemon's dip junction and the junction of the road that goes to Gowrie dam. Does that make sense?

[Jamie Paterson @jamiepaterson4]

@MichaeFleetwood Thanks for this, I did find the old spot in the end 🤦‍♀️😂

[Jamie Paterson @jamiepaterson4]

@MichaeFleetwood @nyjrb90 @mayblossom27 Hello! Glad I stumbled on this by chance. It was definitely pure speculation on my part when I heard about a poisoning around the right time in a toxicology lecture last year. Nothing was confirmed. I didn't know that his collar was removed!

[Jamie Paterson @jamiepaterson4]

This is an enormous relief!

@mayblossom27 That's my newsletter fact for the week sorted, thanks!

@tay_mccurdy @mayblossom27 This looks like the cover of my old copy of White Fang...

@ulrik_gh The trophy hunting of individuals may be preferable to indiscriminate poaching but that doesn't mean that it has no impact on large-tusked gene pools.

[Jamie Paterson @jamiepaterson4]

@ulrik_gh While I agree with some of your previous arguments, do we know this with scientific certainty? I'm not sure we know enough about the heritability of tusk size, nor do I agree that all 100-pound tuskers are necessarily past mating prime. Research here: https://t.co/jSXs9GAhiZ

@mayblossom27 Love it - thank you 🐾

Waffles led me to my first clan "war", my first natal den and my only hyena-hippo hunt. I learned so much from this legend of a hyena.

[Michael Fleetwood @MichaeFleetwood]

A hyena @jamiepaterson4 spent many a hour with in the Mara in the SafariLive era with #WildEarth. Still going strong and producing cubs at 16 yrs old @MaraHyenas
