Teleki, who is normally a cool boy, today picked on Orwa who is much stronger and who sorted him out. He then picked on Ishaq-B. In the evening Quanza came running to Tano’s old Stockade before going into her own. She obviously was hoping to find Tano back there, but was deeply disappointed. Quanza knows all about death having seen her mother and family slaughtered by Poachers and having been found beside their dead bodies.

Orwa and Teleki have become close friends, who respect one another as well. They enjoy their Pushing Games usually taking themselves away from the herd so that the females don’t interfere. Today they had a wonderful time doing strength testing, rolling on the ground, trying to mount onto one another, and playing hide and seek around the bushes. At the noon mudbath Orwa lay down in the mud and when Teleki climbed on top of him, he found himself tipped off sideways. Orwa then went to sit on him, and the more the visitors laughed, the more the two boys were encouraged to repeat the exercise several times!
