We believe this secretive pair of females make their nest high on the cliffs, safe from anyone who would bother them. The nest is hard to find and harder to get to, and the females want nothing to do with anyone else, including myself. It must be the per
An update on my last post. The newly wild female has been fully accepted by her new Pride, and is already a favorite mating partner of the alpha female. While it's the bottom of the totem poll for now, it's a mighty fine start for her.
This female nests on the bluffs overlooking a lake. Every morning, she sits at the edge, sunning herself and carefully inspecting the lake. We don’t know exactly what she is looking for, but she always manages to head to the area of the lake where the
Domestic Wild Females should be fed a primary diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, with nuts and seeds for protein. Unless starving, Wild Females favor uncooked and unprocessed food. Be cautious to avoid food poisoning if you give them raw meat as a trea
I'm often out in the reserve for days and sometimes even weeks at a time, always accompanied by at least one female colleague. My presence helps keeps them from going wild themselves, and mating with them makes me more attractive to their wild sisters,
Our trail cameras caught a tall blonde wading through this pool. While her eyes are focused on the water, searching for prey, you can tell that she is not actively hunting. It would be difficult for her to strike quickly when standing – if she was hunt
Wild Females are often thought of as creatures of pure instinct, but it seems this beauty here is putting some serious thought into whether or not to mate with me. The mind of a Wild Female is a strange but not necessarily simple thing.
Fit and confident females like this beauty are a high priority for our breeding program, to ensure the next generation of wild females is well-suited to their lifestyle. It's a bit more work for me though, but I'm hardly in a position to complain.
Due to their lack of verbal abilities, touch is very important to wild females. Here we see a newly wild specimen allowing the dominant female to perform a gentle manual inspection. She starts with the hands, and, well... you can probably guess where it
Glowsticks and LEDs are useful in drawing out Wild Females. This beauty's spotted me now, and I'll have to be careful not to spook her if I'm to mate with her.
This beach female fell asleep on the beach during low tide. Awoken by the returning waters wetting her sensitive underside, the female must now hurry to shore if she doesn't want to find herself trapped on this sand bank by the tide.
Each Fall I'm sent deep into the park to breed some of the more reclusive wild females. I found this beauty here squatting in this abandoned building, and judging by her stunned reaction, I wouldn't be surprised if I was the first man she's ever seen.
Recently wilded females must be evaluated and checked on regularly to ensure they're adapting well. My job of course is to see if they're receptive to mating. This newcomer was more than happy to receive some male attention, and will likely stick to th
Update: The contemplative female joined up with her pride, who still seem just as unsure about mating with me. These are likely all wild born, and wary of men. Perhaps they'll be more receptive to me come mating season in a few weeks.
Not all females who go wild do so in the wild. This beauty here was fully civilized and living in the big city, and just went wild out of the blue. They found her hunting for fish at the marina. Quite fascinating, but we'll relocate her to a coastal hab
The offshore barrier islands that this female calls home have few trees, so driftwood is a valuable commodity. She will drag this branch back to her nest, and wedge it in place to provide shelter from the wind, rain, and sun
