Karula National Park (Karl II and Kaia)

[Madli]

I received this info:

(Kaia sent data at 19.49)
"She is currently 2,5 km from the nest near a beaver dam. Probably searching for frogs."

Hopefully she will return to the night

Thanks Madli. As long as it's not 200 km, it's fine.

Madli, thx

20.51 - night vision, Karl is alone on the nest for now

[Madli]

Looks like Karl will stay alone tonight.
Nothing unusual from Kaia she also didn't sleep in the nest sometimes last year...

I have seen this "reverse mating" roleplay in other nests too. Especially this season.
Fermina did it in Lodz.
At first I thought it was something very weird and unusual, but now as I see it happen more and more I think it's some kind of normal behavior for females..
