Circuit Trg - Day 2 (noon)

Upon spotting predators again, mommy brings the babies to higher ground and hides behind a depression as babies go under her belly. After awhile, they feel that it was not much of a threat, they moved to flatter ground where mommy demonstrated sprinting; the key to survival. The babies then take over as mommy watches on. they also learn to run for cover when the alarm call is sounded. After training, the babies fed themselves while mommy looks out for danger. It's hot and babies felt that it was always a bit cooler under the shade of tall mommy!

Ok, day 3... What day three? They were gone! End of nesting, success story.
