Greetings.
First of all, I loved the story told by your photographs. I love animals and I love the stories derived from close observation of their behavior.
Unfortunatelly, sometimes we have to accept that their world moves by different rules and it is hard to side with some of them given that sooner or later they'll be "deleted from the picture" by another cute animal, as part of their natural "interaction".
I was going to ask about the programmed/scheduled power cuts.
I have been following some bloggers from SA and it is a matter of alarm that you guys are facing a crisis that resembles so much what we have in latin america, especially in Venezuela (hopefully the rest of the continent will remain as far away from our example as possible).
What you narrate about the power company there is exactly what happened here. Avarice tore the sack, as we say here. I hope politicians there do not look for a colonial scapegoat to deviate attention from their inneficiency and corruption.
