Lion Collaring Update

A quick update from the Conservation Program team at the Chyulu Conservation and Research Center!

We are getting ready for the lion collaring... the countdown has begun and we are beginning the process this evening!

We have been tracking lions for the past week and have encountered several wild and wonderful things! A snake, and some gerenuk amongst other things. We heard a lot of roaring last night at CCRC and some of our Simba Scouts found fresh tracks of lions!

Fresh lion tracks just the other night
We are pulling together the last few details, and compiling all of our equipment to begin the collaring that will occur over the next four days. Be sure to stay tuned to the blog as we will do our best to send updates on how the collaring went!
