Behold the desert savannah. Usually a placid Garden of Eden for goldenbeasts and jungle ocelots alike, this tranquil landscape has been torn apart by a rare and brutal lashing from Mother Nature.
How does the mighty Goldenbeast adapt to disruption? Can he survive the transformed landscape?
Our tracker starts the hunt by searching muddy puddles for tracks. Goldenbeasts love muddy puddles.
Success!
We follow the trail across the windswept plain-
To the ruins of an abandoned jeep washed up on the beach.
Oh yes, he’s been here. One can only hope the people in the Jeep made their escape before the vicious Goldenbeast arrived on scene. A quick search turned up no human remains, and we resumed the hunt.
Even amidst the ruins of tumbled trees and soggy mud bogs, signs of life remain. This gives up hope for finding the Goldenbeast.
THERE! In the distance! A juvenile Goldenbeast! Lean, hungry, and alert.
Our cameraman prepares her camouflage and we slowly approach the beast.
Oh no! We’re spotted! The Goldenbeast runs in for an attack- he is hungry and potentially very dangerous.
Our tracker attempts to hide in a cave.
He forgets the Goldenbeast possesses a keen sense of smell.
Fortunately our crew was whisked to safety moments before the beast arrived.
Foiled again! The Goldenbeast must content himself with carrion.
The Goldenbeast retreats to his lair, hoping tomorrow will be a better day to hunt.

I love the Goldenbeast tales. I’m seeing a potential kid’s best seller!
Dr. V says
I was shocked at how many “Brody the dogs” there are out there. I guess “Goldenbeast Brody” has a more original ring to it.
Chile says
Yay! A new Goldenbeast “tail.” I love it!
Dr. V says
Tails of the Goldenbeast- I might like that even better than “On Safari”! lol
Pikachu says
Love the “GoldenBeast” tales. Brody is a star 🙂 and his mom is sooooo talented.:-)
Dr. V says
He really is a ham, isn’t he? 😉
Annette Frey says
You’re so funny! I think there may always be a career in photo journalism (with captions) for you!
Dr. V says
Probably a less stressful career than my current one too. :/
Lisa W says
Tales of the Goldenbeast — the new bestselling series. I can see it now… 🙂
Dr. V says
Or as Chile put it, “Tails” of the Goldenbeast! I love it!
Ashley says
AW! So cute! The “Cameraman prepares her camouflage” photo made me giggle the most.
Dr. V says
It was hysterical. At least we had a good use for all the garbage strewn over the yard!
Jennifer Holliday says
so glad there was a good ending. Those wet footprints are adorable!
Dr. V says
Much cuter outside the house than inside it for sure. 😉
Georgia Jewel says
Got my Hounds for Haiti mug today. Can’t wait to get home to see it!
Dr. V says
Oh yay! I hope you like it!
Wade says
ha ha ha! This made my morning, thanks for more safari stories!
Dr. V says
Oh yay, I’m glad it gave you a good start to the day 😀
