Spot the Rockjumper...the yellow circle marks a group of Cape Rockjumpers foraging over 300m away from us.

MSc student, Krista Oswald, is currently obtaining behavioural observations of Cape Rockjumpers in the Western Baviaans/Kouga Mountains by tracking groups throughout the day. The steep and rocky terrain makes this an extremely challenging task as they move around a lot, and we generally only get to observe them from a distance - not to mention finding them in the first place!

First price meal for a Cape Rockjumper. This locust is perfectly camouflaged among the pale quartzite stones in the Rockjumper habitat - it even lies flat on it's side when threatened. Rockjumpers have it tough...
