July 30

July 30, 2016

Want to know why a leopard can't change its spots??  Because they are actually on their skin as well.

Kevin is working on making haylage for the animals... It is a mix of-
Spent grain (mases- also used for fishing to attract fish)
Molasses 
Dicrostatis cinerea (sickle boss) (in South Africa used in horse feed to prevent gas colic) cut down tree and out through a wood chipper and then through a hammermill, very invasive species due to overgrazing of cattle, used for firewood and wood chips  
Acacia pods (milled)
Wrapped since May 

We darted one of the Vervet monkeys because she got in a fight with one of the other females and had her tail almost bitten off and broken.  We applied an eslatrator band above the wound so the damaged area would fall off.
