Summary[edit] Description: Afrikaans: Ontbassing van 'n Blinkblaar-wag-'n-bietjie deur 'n Ystervark in Moreletakloof Natuurreservaat, Pretoria. Ystervarke knaag dikwels aan die bas van breëblaarbome, maar vermy Acacia en Sekelbos. Hulle verkry moontlik suikers en minerale soos kalsium uit die bas, en knaag ook graag aan droë bene, wat hulle na hul gate aandra. Daar is ook al beweer dat hul groeiende snytande teen die bas afgeslyp word, of dat hulle territorium sodoende afgemerk word. Deutsch: Fraßspuren des Südafrikanischen Stachelschweins am Stamm von Ziziphus mucronata English: Debarking of a Buffalo thorn by a Cape porcupine in Moreleta Kloof Nature Reserve, Pretoria. They often gnaw on the bark of broad-leaved trees, but avoid Acacia and Sicklebush. They possibly derive sugars and calcium from the bark, and also like to gnaw on dry bones, which are carried to their lairs. It has also been suggested that they gnaw tree bark in order to wear down their growing incisors, or to mark their territory. Frysk: In beam fan syn bast ûntdien troch in Kaapske kjifstikelbaarch.
