Juno is the young brown hyena that was found running through the streets of Johannesburg, she was brought to Mankwe 3 months ago for rehabilitation, she has gained weight and is now quite at home in her enclosure. It is so good to see the terrified animal that arrived here so calm and relaxed. She is frequently seen during the day which is an indication that she does not feel threatened.
We hope to receive the collar, that has been ordered by the SPCA, in the next month as she is definitley ready to be released. The 'drop off collar' that has been  made in Sweden will enable us to monitor her movements and hopefully assist her should she run into any trouble. The data collected from the collar will help us learn more about brown hyena behaviour and will hopefully help us make an informed decision should we receive another brown hyena for rehabilitation and release.

We were asked by a local vet to rehabilitate two young large spotted genets. We housed them at Nkombi camp for a couple of weeks until they had adjusted to their environment and they were older enough to hunt on their own. On the 26th February we opened the door to their enclosure and released them at the camp. They were hesitant at first but after a while they ventured out. They were later spotted sitting quite happily at the top of the tree. We will continue to feed them until we feel they can fend for themselves.
