We continue on Day 9 of our virtual tour and visit Addo Elephant National Park and discover its abundance of wildlife. The park proudly conserves the Big 7 within its vast borders.
The original section of the park was founded in 1931 in order to provide a sanctuary for the 11 remaining elephants in the area. The park has proved to be very successful and currently houses more than 600 elephants and a large number of other mammals. Adoo is also known for the abundance of dungbeetles in the park.
The concept of the BIG 7 Safari was born when the Addo Elephant National Park extended its boundries to include the Alexandria dunefields, the largest aeolian dune fields (wind driven) in the southern hemisphere and which fringe the northern shoreline of Algoa Bay. The Park expanded further to incorporate the off shore islands of St Croix, the largest of three at 2.8 hectare and the Bird Island group of which Bird Island is the biggest. The waters between these two groups of Islands, a marine protected area, is also incorporated into the managment programs of the Addo Elephant National Park and it is in these waters that we have the opportunity to watch marine mammals such as the prolific populations of Dolphins, in particular the Bottlenose Dolphin as well as the great Whales which migrate into these warmer, calm waters between the end of May and December each year. An abundance of marine wildlife inhabits these Islands and their surrounding waters including the Great White and other species of Sharks.
Für meine deutschen Gäste:
Wir fahren am achten Tag unserer virtuellen Tour fort und besuchen den Addo Elephant National Park und entdecken dessen Tierreichtum. Der Park bewahrt stolz die Big 7 innerhalb seiner weiten Grenzen.
Der ursprüngliche Teil des Parks wurde 1931 gegründet, um den elf verbliebenen Elefanten in der Region ein Schutzgebiet zu bieten. Der Park hat sich als sehr erfolgreich erwiesen und beherbergt derzeit mehr als 600 Elefanten und eine große Anzahl anderer Säugetiere. Adoo ist auch bekannt für die Fülle an Mistkäfern im Park.
Das Konzept der BIG 7-Safari wurde geboren, als der Addo Elephant National Park seine Grenzen auf die Alexandria-Dünenfelder ausweitete, die größten äolischen Dünenfelder (windgetrieben) der südlichen Hemisphäre, die die nördliche Küste der Algoa Bay säumen. Der Park wurde weiter ausgebaut, um die vorgelagerten Inseln St. Croix, die mit 2,8 Hektar die größte von drei Inseln, und die Bird Island-Gruppe, von denen Bird Island die größte ist, einzubeziehen. Die Gewässer zwischen diesen beiden Inselgruppen, einem Meeresschutzgebiet, sind ebenfalls Bestandteil der Managementprogramme des Addo Elephant National Park. In diesen Gewässern haben wir die Möglichkeit, Meeressäugetiere wie die fruchtbaren Populationen der Delfine zu beobachten. insbesondere der Tümmler sowie die großen Wale, die jedes Jahr zwischen Ende Mai und Dezember in diese wärmeren, ruhigen Gewässer ziehen. Auf diesen Inseln und ihren umliegenden Gewässern leben zahlreiche Meerestiere, darunter die Weißen und andere Haiarten.
