Animals gone wild! It’s been a CRAZY wildlife week

From a cheetah sauntering through a safari lodge, to a dead aardvark washed up on a Cape Town beach to a tiger that’s on the loose in Gauteng.

What a week!

VIRAL VIDEO | CHEETAH STRUTS INTO SAFARI LODGE NEAR KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

As reported by The South African website in a video that’s gone viral, guests at the umVangati House near the Kruger National Park were joined by an uninvited guest as they sat down for breakfast recently.

While guests tried to remain as calm as possible, a male cheetah walked in and explored the safari lodge.

He even stopped to check out what was being served!

Then, in perhaps a candidate for saddest – yet strangest – animal tale of the year to date, a dead aardvark washed up on Sunset Beach in Milnerton last Friday.

The animal was taken away by the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds and given to wildlife services for inspection.

As reported, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA confirmed that the animal did not drown.

The adult female aardvark was in good overall health and showed no visible signs of injury.

When Luca Mendes, the attending wildlife veterinarian, looked at the heart, he saw symptoms that would suggest that she died of heart failure, potentially brought on by suffocation, suggesting the animal may have been kept in a box with no ventilation.

Tragically, all signs point to animal traffickers being responsible for another senseless death.

Finally, there’s a tiger on the loose south of Johannesburg.

Sheba, an eight-year-old female tiger escaped from her enclosure on Saturday evening after the fencing was reportedly cut.

She’s attacked a man, two dogs and a pig to date as a team of trackers and police frantically attempt to locate – and recapture – her.

Police have urged the public to remain on high alert but to report any sightings to 083 292 5862.
