Week 225 (14 - 20 December 2007)

TigerWoods and Cathay mate again

On Friday afternoon roaring was heard from the river line of the 9 ha camp. Cathay and TigerWoods were then found coming out of the river. TigerWoods went to Cathay and she went along the fence towards the gate. Both of them went to the river line again. TigerWoods kept trying to smell Cathay’s genital area and she seemed to be cooperating with him. Both of them scent marked a lot. Cathay lay on the grass and rubbed against it. Apparently she was trying to seduce TigerWoods. They played and chased each other for a while and finally TigerWoods mounted Cathay 3 times, but none of it seemed to be successful. They played for about an hour and finally went to the tall grass on the river bed and lay down.

On Saturday afternoon, TigerWoods and Cathay played near the river again. Cathay seduced TigerWoods again, but not as often as the day before. They played for a while and then rested. They mounted 3 times but most of the time TigerWoods’ position was not correct. Both of them appeared to be disappointed. Finally there was one mount which appeared to be successful. Both of them roared and Cathay hit TigerWoods after mating. Then Cathay rolled on the ground for a while before she fell asleep. TigerWoods rested not far from her. Both of them slept for half an hour. Then Cathay went to the north western corner and TigerWoods followed. After smelling around the grass there they went back to the river line. TigerWoods mounted Cathay again but it did not appear to have been successful.

The mounting continued and reached a climax on Monday. In the morning they mounted twice in one hour’s time. Each mounting seemed short but successful. In the afternoon, they mounted 12 times in 3 hours, among which there were 8 times which appeared to be successful. Madonna was pacing along the fence of the quarantine camp. She rolled on the ground often and moaned a lot. It seemed she was in oestrus as well.

TigerWoods and Cathay stopped mounting by Tuesday afternoon. TigerWoods was then introduced into the 4 ha camp to stay with Madonna. However they didn’t pay much attention to each other. No mounting was observed.
