text:
Tygerberg Nature Reserve is a 300-hectare (740-acre) nature reserve in the Tierberg range of hills in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa. In 1657 the 7 km long range of hills became known as Luipaerts Berghen, named for the characteristic spots, or “heuweltjies”, which dot its slopes and are visible from afar. These are believed to be fossilized termitaria, and occur widely in Shale Renosterveld. Since 1661 the range was known as the Tijgerberghen, "tijger" being the Cape Dutch word
