Can't chat...jaws is on.
Mystery of the missing geese is solved – for now
In the morning there would be a pile of feathers, and another discussion over who the culprit might be.
Was it perhaps a hungry vagrant who had found a way onto the farm? A caracal with a taste for fowl, or a sly jackal?
Meanwhile, the flock dwindled from 200 birds. The mystery killer whittled them down to just a couple of dozen.
Then Bosch caught sight of the spoor of the beast, and couldn’t believe what he saw.
It was enough to get him to set up a cage trap and bait it with a piece of meat. For a while the cage stood empty. Then one night the trap was sprung.
“We were just flabbergasted,” said Bosch.
In the cage, on a farm 15km from the centre of Joburg, was an angry young leopard. Bosch was right, the spoor he had seen was that of a leopard
