They are still sighted regularly as the new colony is quite near the waterhole where the leopard cubs go for their daily walk, and food is taken to them every couple of days.
Frank seems to be the most interested in human company. Every few days he and Violet, both of them raised in the old rabbit enclosure, appear round the volunteer area on the farm. Their antics are endlessly amusing , except when they try to get in with the rabbits!
One day recently Frank decided that the grass outside the kitchen is his, and tail held straight up, he took a fast run at the geese who were peacefully sleeping there. With a great squawking, they fled. Half an hour later, he did the same to the four peacocks.
He then allowed himself to be caught and curled up for a snuggle! He particularly likes being stroked under the chin. His love bites tend to be a bit painful, however, as his needle-sharp teeth sink in!
