High-tech helicopter, drone to help find missing Karoo lion | Duncan025
On February 15, a male lion went missing from the Karoo National Park near Beaufort West and search and tracker teams have been trying to find the animal for weeks in difficult terrain.On Friday, Bidvest Protea Coin announced that it was deploying its helicopter, which is ideally suited for tracking.
This is a concern as the rangers are tracking the animal by foot because the terrain makes it difficult for a vehicle to enter. "If lions have water within their territory that attracts prey animals in the daytime, the lions will be active in the day. Lions are extremely attuned to descending vultures during the day and will follow them to a free meal.
The Karoo lion has led teams over 110km from the park and despite some clues, such as spoor, it has remained elusive.
