WATCH: Lion spotted between Hazyview and White River

Paw prints have been found on two farms and the MTPA is searching for the lion.

A male lion was spotted on a farm near the former Cybele Forest Lodge on Sunday April 26. Malcolm Easton, owner of the farm, said he came across some paw prints on Monday.

He happened to have cameras in this area, and after asking the security company about it, they confirmed it was indeed a lion. The cameras are not originally set up to detect animals, but have since been updated.

Pieter du Preez, a farmer south of the Da Gama Dam, also found some paw prints on his farm, but this was last week Tuesday.

Dr Ferreira du Plessis, from the MTPA, said they first became aware of the lion last week Thursday. He said all reports at this stage point to it being only one lion.
