Monday's are our day off so pretty quiet around Chipangali. But, Today I had the opportunity to go out to help track a collared hyena. She was collared and released almost a year ago and they were able to get three months of data and GPS points and then nothing for 7 months until a few days ago and then the collar sent out a mortality signal and then started sending out more points but were staying in the same general area. So a few options.... She was stuck in a snare or dead and something was playing with the collar. So we went out and fortunately found her collar which had only been chewed off. We think it moved around just enough to hit the chewed wires together and send out a signal.
The lamb is doing really well! She finally started willingly taking her bottle through the night last night. Funny how I am at a wildlife orphanage taking care of a lamb...
We have had a lot of power outages the past couple days. Apparently the government will just decide to cut off the power to save money. There are some areas of the city, near the airport and hospital that never have their power cut off for obvious reasons. These areas are more expensive to live in.
