Emily in the wild, looking particuarly healthy
Daily updates
February 1st
The Voi Stockades have remained very quiet this month, because since the death of Mweiga on the 22nd December 2007, Natumi’s group has not been back. Emily’s group was monitored by the Keepers for the first half of the month (up until the 16th) feeding around the Eastern side of Mazinga Hill, but then also moved further afield. Lissa and her three calves now seem to be traveling with a large wild cow who has two calves of her own, Lissa taking on the role of Nannie to the wild babies. They have been sighted feeding at the Kanderi Swamp, where there is a lot of grass and which is probably where our other orphans are spending time, even though they have not been spotted by the Keepers, who have had to stick to the roads. The only permanent member of the Voi Unit at the moment is the orphaned zebra mare named “Serena” who is walked out into the bush on a daily basis, with some of the Keepers, whilst others do the rounds hoping to catch a glimpse of our now wild herd of elephants.
