Over the past two
days Thoralf noticed that a baby Kudu was stuck between two fence lines. The young
ungulate had no access to water and was most likely 2-3 months old. In an
attempt to free the baby Kudu, we took down the fence and left it down overnight
in hopes that the baby would leave and be reunited with its mother.
Today we began the
field work portion of our studies here in Ghanzi, Botswana. We started early,
utilized skills from yesterday’s practice run and we were able to finish two
plots before lunch. These plots were mainly composed of saplings and small
acacias, therefore making them some of the easier plots. Future plots will be
composed of larger trees and more time-intensive work. We are all eager for
what is to come.
After lunch, we
finished our last Setswana lesson with our new friend and teacher, Tefo. He
will be heading back to Maun tomorrow; hopefully we can meet up with him later
on in his hometown.
Finishing up today's transect.
Goodbye morutabana
(teacher) Tefo.
