Kilimanjaro Lion Conservation Project

Another day, another obtuse blog-title. Apparently its Tennyson. Its for my one-armed friend in little Nigeria.

This post is to draw my reader’s attention to the fact that we have our donation-reporting sidebar up and running again. I’ve been harassing the techs at wildlifedirect mercilessly for the last two months and they have finally pulled through. Thanks David and Masumi!

So… Katherine, Theresa, Suzanne and Carmine: thanks for the contributions. I’ll wait until the donations have amounted to a sizeable chunk before I draw the Benjamins from wildlifedirect and deploy them.

Again, one of the adult females in Nempakai’s pride. If you look closely under her nose on the left side you will see a scar. This is very distinctive, and can be used to identify this lion in future.

News from the field: I went out to check on Nemasi last night. She still has all three of her cubs. It was dark and they were moving too much for me to take good photos. I am happy to report they are about twice the size they were the last time I saw them (which is when I took the photo for the header of this blog).
