Today seemed to be primate day,a monkey in the tree and then baboons at the pool by Kwali camp.They are always entertaining to watch, with fights and human expressions, they could be a soapie.
Tomorrow, I will be searching for Manyari first thing in the morning. She needs to have an implant put in and the vetrinary course running at Malilangwe now is prime time to do it. It will be my first lion sedation and I am sure I will have some photos tomorrow evening for you. The weather forecast is for rain in the next few days so we may get a little before the rainy season is done.this crested francolin always seems to evade my camera but at last I got one. The Swainsons Francolin perches up in trees to proclaim his territory and so is more conspicuous.

Hi Kim,
You must be happy to be back in trhe bush!
I am very interested in finding out more about your veterinary course and can’t wait to see the photos. In school right now we were studying anesthesia and perioperative analgesia and I am curious to find out which sedatives you will be using on Manyari and which antagonists you will use to bring her back from her sadation.
Thanks!

Kim having anesthesia of his own right now. Appendix decided to play up. So he is in a hospital in New York having it removed.
Far cry from his beloved bush.
Thank you, Darryl, for keeping us informed of your sightings. I am also very interested in pictures from Manyari’s implant session. Quite exciting for you, I am sure.
Also, wishing Kim a speedy recovery.
Hey Lindy,
Thank you for letting us know about Kim’s appendectomy. Sometimes it takes a while to get one’s energy back after major surgery. We all hope he recovers quickly.
Wonderful footage of the wollowing Eles, so much love there.
Get well soon Kim. NY is a VERY expensive place to have an op. Safe home
Thank you, Lindy for the update on Kim. Kim, get well soon.
Hi Lindy,
What a bad time for his appendix to act up! I hope he has insurance.
Please tell him I am wishing him a fast recovery and a faster move back to the bush!

Good luck Kim, have a fast recovery & return to the wild.
Darryl, we look forward to the report on Manyari’s implant.

Lindy and Kim,
Lindy, thank you for telling us. Yikes! I nominally guess it’s better to have this happen while out of the bush-the proverbial middle of nowhere. But New York?!? Ouch. And it’s the ouch that keeps on giving if you haven’t insurance.
Highest hopes you are doing great, Kim, and soon to escape the concrete canyons!

P.S. Darryl thank you for your efforts, really like the butterfly pic!
Take care, Kim.
I hope you have a speedy recovery so you can get back to your awesome videos.
Thank you, Lindy, for checking in.
Thank you, Darryl.
Thanks to Lindy for letting us know. Hope all is well with Kim. Something tells me he will be up and out of there in no time! Rgds
Lindy, thanks for letting us know about Kim. Bloody heck, am in NYC myself, just leaving tonight on the way back to London but will be back next week if all goes to plan. Please let me know if Kim needs anything, or any help.
Best
Jeff
After seeing the elephants how can any zoo just have 1 elephant, they need each others company!
