Went out last night to
south territory; there were two cubs at Hatch Den, likely Bron and Star, but no
sign of any adult hyenas all evening. A few jackals and that was about it.
This morning however we
saw a cheetah, had a bunch of hyenas at the den and saw a few more hyena while
we drove around doing prey transects! Very very hazy these past few days, there’s
been a lot of smoke coming from Tanzania so not sure if its related to that or
if it’s just seasonal or what. Blue skies above and very chilly nights but the
haze doesn’t lift like fog so who knows.
Got my first siafu
encounter this morning. Not sure where I picked them up but by the time I was
sitting down on the choo there were little ants crawling on my feet and I
brought quite a few back to my tent with me. Luckily once they start to bite
they are very obvious and easy to kill and I killed at least five on me and
then another ten more in my tent as I watched them emerge from my pajamas! We
had some good rain last evening before and during obs and the siafu usually
come out after a rain.
