For the first time in four months, Zulus has a dominant male. After ongoing battles amongst the three Whiskers – Pixie (VWM201), Scuzi (VWM213) and Jay-a-Rod (VWM216), Scuzi emerged the victor.
Elrond Council Smeagol (VECM006) was thought to have been bitten by a puff adder, suffering a severe forearm injury, labored breathing and fatigue. He had difficulty keeping up with the group. By the end of the month, he showed significant improvement and is expected to recover fully.
Habituation of the wild individuals at Lazuli is progressing well.
Namaqua Heatherleigh (VQLF018) gave birth this month but only one pup was seen emerging. It is possible that other pups were killed by a monitor lizard that had been seen in the babysitting burrow. Bonnie (VWM209) was given his last seen. He had been displaying signs of TB in January when he was left behind by the group.
