Another release of a TOPS (threatened or protected species) species!
FREEME KZN released this Serval cat last week at a selected FREEME KZN release site.
Since this is a soft release, whereby food is placed at the release site over a two week period (this period can be extended based on the monitoring information we gather) so the Serval can feed while adjusting to its new environment. Should the Serval not find sufficient prey to feed herself within this period, she will usually return to the release site where she will find food and can sustain herself until she has adapted to her new environment.
Always a fabulous feeling setting one of these magnificent animals free after months of dedicated work.
