Turtle Season!

The largest of all of her kind, the Leatherback turtle, can weigh over 800 kg. Instead of the usual hard scutes, Leatherback is covered with thick, smooth skin like vulcanised rubber. They are the only living reptiles that are warm-blooded, generating their own heat.

Adult Leatherback feed only on jellyfish, but the juveniles may also eat other floating organisms. They dive to feed and are able to reach depths of over 350 meters.
Males never leave the water once they enter as hatchlings. Females return to the same beach on which they were hatched. They emerge, move above the high water mark and find suitable site to lay eggs. A miraculous ritual not to be missed. This happens during what we call a Turtle Season in iSimangaliso. That time is now!

After the rain, the Red Duikers came out to play! The birds and frogs were happy loud too. Then we saw the tiny fawn..... #selfcatervacation #wildlifeinthegarden #birdingkzn#stluciasouthafrica

Froggie enjoying its view...

Igwalagwala Forest - St Lucia, Kzn, SA. 16 September 2023. Listen to the variety of bird calls and chatter. I was standing at one spot, surrounded by bird calls and chatter. After I ended the video, other birds called. It was a cloudy and a little windy and still so much activity. So I just enjoyed the smells and the beautiful sounds of the feathered company. The trees connect high and it forms a canopy, a different kind of place. You have to experience it. #birdingstlucia #thegallerystlucia #nature #stluciawilds #selfcateringholidays #isimangalisowetlandpark #stuciasouthafrica

Mole eat earthworm #thegallerystlucia

Never have I seen this before. A mole frantically devouring a long earthworm. It must have been very tasty..

The lovely Spring rains, has awaken our Giant African Snails, from their winter slumber. These rain-loving creatures are very territorial and never stray far from their chosen spot in the garden. So it's like having a happy reunion of sorts this week.
