The Mara Vet Team resumed duty with the intention of fostering health and welfare to the animals in this new and promising year. The Unit attended to 9 wildlife cases during the month, all of which were successful.
Two lions and an elephant were treated for human-wildlife conflict injuries; the lions sustained cuts from pangas whilst the elephant was speared. The Unit removed a snare from a zebra and remotely retreated a cheetah with an ear condition. The Unit also rescued an elephant calf, an impala and Thomson gazelle in two separate cases. An extensive exercise was carried out whereby 13 black rhinos were ear notched and/or fitted with horn transmitters.
