Officials of the Black Eagle Project Roodekrans are concerned following the disappearance of Thulani, a male black eagle, from the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens last Saturday.
Thulani and his mate Makatsa are an institution in Johannesburg and the subject of great interest worldwide.
To make matters worse, it appears that a chick has since hatched and will likely be abandoned by Makatsa if Thulani doesn't return.
According to the project's chairperson, Gerald Draper, Thulani was last seen on June 8 and possibly again on June 9, though this could not be confirmed.
