Hi Farktoof, thank you for the link, haven't read much of it yet, but looks like there is some interesting reading in that report. If mass culling goes ahead in Kruger, I am sure that it will make for some interesting animal behavioural studies for a Phd student or such. I understand some of the difficulties involved, and that breeding herds will have to be targetted, but with that comes some problems, which are accurately described in the report.

I think that ellies in the park will become either quite skittish or aggressive for quite a while afterwards. I believe that in the Addo Elephant park, with the very small founder population, it took quite a while before it was safe for vehicles to be allowed into the park! Interestingly, those ellies are now some of the most relaxed ellies in human presence that I have ever seen in Southern Africa (in vehicles at least).
