The wildlife of Maweni is not like Serengeti's. The top predators here are not lions but moderately dangerous eagle owl, monitor lizard, honeybadger (but you should see their teeth!). And then we have the ugly monster: the neigbouring priests' cat. A lazy, chameleon-eating, fish-stealing, bird-terrorising, rat-ignoring, anti-social creature, who does not even like children.
Today a paradise flycatcher chick fell down to the ground from a nest in one of the avocado trees around the front yard. I am not saying the cat caused it, but it happened to be nearby, licking it's mouth. Fortunately, guests and staff rushed to the scene and rescued the little chick in front of the drewling monster's jaws.
