The conservation area had good precipitation all through, the natural water pans in the area collected enough water with grazers and browsers having plenty of food.
The Unit attended to 9 cases, 5 of which were elephants. There was one postmortem of an elephant which was deemed natural, the other elephant cases were 3 arrow injuries and 1 snared juvenile; all were given a good prognosis. The Unit also attended to 1 snared zebra and 1 giraffe with a deep spear wound as well as 1 lion treated for fight injuries and collared a second lion to mitigate human-wildlife conflict.
