This morning we just drove down to the last sandy zone and placed ant traps. Then we walked a transect checking down all aardvark holes in case a Pangolin is sleeping there - this is a last resort as Paul hasnt been able to find any signals on any of the Pangolins. Graham left before dawn to Windhoek.
Here are some more photos from Mundulea:

Wauw! Heerlijke foto's weer. Gisteren keek ik naar DeWereldDraaitDoor en daar was een bioloog in het programma die zich gespecialiseerd heeft in uitstervende en ongeevolueerde diersoorten en hij had het ook over de pangolin! Jaaaaaa.....
ReplyDeleteWat zielig dat ze massaal gedood worden om naar China te worden gebracht om als lekkernij te dienen en hun schubben voor de vrouwen die borstvoeding geven...wist ik nog niet. Ik ben nu nog trotser op je (als dat nog mogelijk was) Heb je er inmiddels alweer 1 gezien?
Dikke kus
Nice pics Miel, huge eland herd! I thought tsessebe were flood-plain antilope? If Paul can't track another pangolin is there a chance of tagging a fresh one? Fun to see the house and view - great picture of the sun, we see it only occasionally though ;-)
ReplyDeleteHavent seen another Pangolin, cant find signal on any of them. Paul is looking down holes in the hope of finding them and thinking about other options.. i.e. bringing in a bushman tracker. Well see
ReplyDeleteWont see the sun today I dont think
