Prince of Djuma Maribye update

After spending a few days in and around the Manyeleti Game Reserve, the Prince of Djuma Maribye has made his way home. He arrived at Gowrie Dam this evening looking strong and healthy since his surgery in April. The WildEarth team is hoping to follow up on his movements during our Sunrise Safari. #wildearth #leopard

Omg Maribye ty ty his gait has changed

[@fukatrumume9750]

So elated to this precious boy recovering from the horrific snares. Keep healing young Prince. Rooting for u. Recently, ZaZa 🦁, Tank’s son, was caught in a snare. Luckily, he was treated. Hope, he will recover. C’mon a.holes, stop being barbaric to cause pain & suffering for wildlife.

[@carolhayar3037]

It shows what quick intervention can do - maybe not 100% of the time but it is necessary whatever the circumstance -- we're losing our animals & everyone saved is a triumph. It appears that Maribye also has a strong immune system, which also has helped him (looking at all he's been through).

[@blackice1796]

So grateful for the update! It appears that my fears for his recovery can be put to rest! Now, my boy, please just stay away from Manyeleti.

[@desertrose2059]

I love Maribye and am thrilled to see him recovering so fast. However, I am concerned with Thalamba's new babies being in danger with him around. She has already lost too many babies! The guides have stated young males coming through looking for territories would be a danger.

[@valeanton9846]

Should be fine, not worried at all. They know each other. It is the 2 legged ones you should fear

[@desertrose2059]

@@valeanton9846 The guides previously said he could be a threat to her cubs.

Dear Maribye - isn`t there an S somewhere at the end? - Dear Maribye(s), if you only knew what kind of superstar you are here in this little community. I think that it wont´t mind you at all - hold my beer, I need another deer....just for the joke 🙂

[@vinodcl838]

Is it today's sighting?

[@willie714]

Hosana will always be the prince just as Tingana will always be the Duke. Others only follow.

[@rosiejase]

Princes succeed Princes. Think about it.

[@rosiejase]

There can always be more than one prince.

[@terre08]

A Duke's son becomes a Duke once the Duke father passes away.

[@lindamusso4437]

What happen to the boy .. how did he get injured ?

[@fayesterhuysen4861]

He got caught in a snare, had horrific injuries.

[@biankamuckenschnabl6958]

He got caught in a snare. He had to be darted and they removed the snare. But he was so badly injured, that they had to perform a surgery.
