From a family of Cape Foxes to Cape Mountain Leopards and even a dolphin super pod
Humans might be under lockdown, but other Capetonians have been enjoying life as usual, soaking up the last few sunny days before winter. A few videos and pictures have shown up online during lockdown, featuring some truly magical moments. Here are some of our favourites.
THOUSANDS OF DOLPHINS DELIGHTED RESIDENTS IN HOUT BAY
The dolphin super-pod frolicked just off the Hout Bay beachfront, and local Hout Bay resident Gershwin Christian Williams captured this incredible drone footage.
A TRIO OF PENGUINS TOOK A STROLL THROUGH SIMON'S TOWN
The penguins took advantage of the safe, quiet streets to stretch their legs while the rest of us were staying indoors.
A LEOPARD AND PORCUPINE PRACTISE SOCIAL DISTANCING
The two were caught on camera recently near Piketberg, maintaining a good six feet of social distance.
WATCH: A CAPE LEOPARD GROWLS FOR THE CAMERA
Our hearts skipped a beat watching this beauty pause in front of the camera for a guttural growl, before slinking off into the night.
A CARACAL ROAMS AT WESTLAKE
The City of Cape Town recently installed new camera traps. The aim, they said, is “to monitor fauna at the Westlake Conservation Centre during the lockdown period. These camera traps enable staff to monitor changes in fauna activity at Westlake with there being far less human disturbance.”
ULTRA-RARE CAPE FOXES FROLICKING AT VERGELEGEN
These shy animals are usually very hard to spot, but the Vergelegen staff were treated to a whole family of Cape Foxes enjoying the sunny weather on the farm.
