Confirmation that the GRV Reserve is in Tanzania?
This isn’t 100% definite, but the fact that the blunthead cichlid appears in the reserve shown in the spotlight video with the shoebill and common hippopotamus means the reserve must be in Tanzania since the cichlid species is endemic to Lake Tanganyika. This should give us a better idea of what other species to expect for those reserve (e.g. we can rule out the inclusion of the reticulated giraffe and the white rhinoceros since neither species is native to Tanzania).
Either that, or this is a second, separate reserve from the one already confirmed, OR Frontier is taking liberty with its species inclusions by using the cichlids outside their native range.
