I try to keep rabies out of my mind these days. But not today. It was my turn again to be jabbed. I’ve now received 4 of the 6 injections needed as a rabies vaccination. At least it’s just in the arm and doesn’t hurt that much.
Apparently in the past it used to be 13 injections in the belly button and was extremely painful!!!
With that out the way it was good to be back out in the field. Although it was a cold day and drizzling at times, I was surprised to see many animals around. Normally in this weather the animals just seem to disappear.
But the elephant herds still remained elusive to me. I think they’re in the south but I ran out of time in trying to get down that way. Mission for tomorrow.
On my way home this herd of buffalo moved on to Banyini to drink and they had hardly arrived at the pan and left again. In the cool weather they obviously don’t have any desire to hang around in the water. Also these watering points are always potential danger with predators lurking.
Oh, bravo!
Don’t laugh but I’ve never seen a Nyla before, Kim, at least not that I’m aware of. This ram is gorgeous, those markings on his face… Stunning. I was feeling a little world-weary today but that perked me right up!
I don’t envy you your inoculations but I’m glad you’re getting the modernized version of them. Maybe they just got tired of having to hogtie and gag the poor folks that needed 13 shots in the bellybutton - safety first (arching my brow).
Stay warm and dry,
Kimberley
