Black Jax, a female Jackal Buzzard, was the inspiration behind Radical Raptors. She was one of the first birds Dennis trained back in 2006.
Dennis, a falconer and wildlife enthusiast, started Radical Raptors in Plettenberg Bay in 2008 and has worked with CapeNature since 2003.
After 12 years in Plett, Radical Raptors moved to Gouritzmond in 2020, shifting focus from tourism to rehabilitation.
