At the end of summer, a few days after the first rains, plates termites emerge by the thousands in a very short burst (1-3nights). When that happens, forget walking around at night with a torch, you'll be covered by them!! But if you can brave this, then you'll see that everything is feasting on the juicy flying insects in a frenzy! After flying from their nest, the plates soon drop their wings, find a mate and start digging to start a new colony.

One night while looking for Escobar at Pharside, I witness a very interesting interaction between bat-eared fox and cape fox.

So this is Escobar, our habituated row in this part of the KRR.

And this is Ray, an habituated Cape fox who figured out that the crinkling noise meant food for him as well. So he comes to us for raisins.

But then Escobar wouldn't have him stealing raisins from him and repeatedly chased him away from me!

Later on, Emmental, another habituated fox in the area also joined us, only to be chased away by Escobar again..
