Toyota South Africa Partners with Umbabat

One such tool is vehicles to patrol the wildlife areas they work in. Thanks to the commitment of Toyota South Africa to help conserve biodiversity of these areas, we were able to secure the sponsorship of a vehicle from them on 14 August 2019 at their Head Office.  The vehicle was handed over to the Umbabat CPU Manager, David Jeffree, (left) by the Umbabat Chairman, Theo van Wyk (middle) on 20 August 2019.   ...

Wild Dog Hunt

Wild Dog Hunt

After the Wild Dogs killed an Impala in the riverbed on UWCA they then brought the meat back for their pups at the den. Please note that the Umbabat does not advocate visiting Wild Dog dens at night nor the use of spot lights on them after dark. The reason being is that they are diurnal animals and if they have lights on them nocturnal predators could gain advantage and kill the pups. http://umbabat.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Wild-dog-s-chasing-off-hyena-August-2019.mp4http://umbabat.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Wild-dogs-hunting-impala-August-2019.mp4http://umbabat.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Wild-dog-pups-being-fed-3-August-2019.mp4http://umbabat.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Wild-dog-pups-being-fed-August-2019.mp4...
