Yes, but as always, you don't want to risk letting the animal escape for some videos I do have a video from the moment we realeased him. Which reminds me, I have some more videos which I almost forgot to include in this report and the next one for the Seychelles Working on it!

You should have seen the pool after a sandstorm! It is of course a bit strange to set up such a resort in the middle of a conservation reserve. But it does pay the bill and the wildlife (locally) profits.

Thanks for posting!
Yes I was also very surprised! I was taking pictures and I thought any minute he will run off. But in the end I was less than 2m away. Later I read they tend to trust in their camouflage when they are far from their burrow.
