Even though the drought has spilled over into August, we are optimistic that the Eastern Conservation Area will receive a substantial amount of rain soon. Nevertheless, wildlife continues to flourish with most of the female herbivores seen this month observed to be in mid gestation.
The Meru Veterinary attended to 4 cases in August 2022. This included follow up treatment on a Grevy’s zebra stallion that was treated in July for deep cut wounds; treatment of a giraffe bull for an abrasion wound; and the treatment of an elephant bull for a bullet wound. The vet also administered yearly booster vaccines to a security dog working with the Meru Rhino Security team.
