We went back, and as the other tourists left the sighting we came across them just over the ridge of the dune, out of sight from the original sighting. They were headed straight towards us. We chose a good spot, switched off the car and waited. Here the older male came onto the ridge of the dune again. Minutes later he was rubbing himself against my car.
