The September Life History files have been uploaded.

Here are the most important events:

• The breeding season starts early this year, due to good rains: Amarula’s five pups at Baobab (only two of which survived) and AJB’s 4 pups at Hakuna Matata – and more to come from Swift’s litter at Whiskers who haven’t emerged yet.
• Another new wild group is being habituated, the (Little) Creatures (CR), with 7 individuals. They live in the center of the reserve and were found with camera traps near their burrow.

The July Life History files have been uploaded.

July has been a very quiet month, LH-wise:

• Ex Pandora male Cheesy Toast (VVHM092) joined his siblings at Paprika (formerly called Van Helsing 4).
• 3 females are pregnant, but there were no births in July – fairly usual during the cold dry season.
