African Weeping Wattle- very soft leaves and can be used as Toilet Tissue

With FW
Over to Jamie who is with the Matimba Male Lions .
She is trying to reposition to get a good view. It is very thick brush
First View
Jamie saying its quite dangerous for the Matimba's to be in this area as this is the Birmingham Boys Area but having said that, the BB have such a large area that perhaps there is room in a corner for the Matimba's. The Matimba's are very mature and very large and the Birminghams are down one member so who knows what will play out in the bush.
While Jamie respositions again, over to FW with a beautiful Sunset
Back over to Jamie
There appears to be only the 1 male here right now. Both were here this morning.
