I’m sure Chipfongwe’s asking if he really has to do this?
He was having a good day. Had a great cool dusting from the other elephants and didn’t have to travel too far on that little limp of his.

But having to eat elephant dung……….. Well is that not pushing it? Not at all. They need the bacteria in it to start up the whole digestive process in their stomachs once they start eating solid foods. Just one of those essential things one has to do in life. It can only get better!

I searched for the wild dogs at dawn and really don’t know where they’ve headed off to. After a couple of hours of searching I left the area to follow up on Chipfongwe.
I’ll probably leave the wild dogs for a while unless they make an appearance up in the north again. And so for now will be concentrating my efforts on the elephants.

The elephants are having it really great now that the Albizia woodlands have sprouted. There is so much food for them here. But once the grass reaches a height that makes it easy to harvest they’ll probably move into the grasslands in the south.
