Buffalo Introduction at Mankwe

11/28/2016

0 Comments

 
It was decided to introduce 11 disease free Buffalo onto Mankwe as part of a breeding programme. Buffalo are excellent ecosystem engineers and they will greatly enhance the ecosystem at Mankwe. One of the breeding cows is fitted with a GPS collar so we can track their movements at all times. After their introduction 3 weeks ago we are happy to report that the herd has settled in nicely and are quite content in their new home.
