February remained dry, with the scorching sun intensifying across the Meru ecosystem. The vegetation had lost its lush green colour, with some areas appearing barren while most water pans had dried up, limiting water access for wildlife.
In February, the Meru Mobile Veterinary Unit responded to 3 cases. In Meru National Park, the veterinarian advised the rhino monitoring team to closely monitor an elderly male black rhino that had sustained fight wounds, though his prognosis for recovery was favourable. Additionally, the veterinarian administered the annual vaccinations to a Meru Rhino Security dog and conducted a post-mortem on a poisoned vulture.
Furthermore, the veterinarian attended the Interventions for Wildlife Animal Health (IWAH) international course in 2025 at WRTI headquarters in Naivasha.
