Nursery Unit  May   26, 2011 The orphans filed out of the Night Stables early in the morning as usual. The Nairobi Park lions seem to have taken themselves elsewhere, which is good news, since the warthogs have recently lost two of their number to them. Kalama and Chemi Chemi enjoyed a strength testing game, while Mutara and Sities stood guard over little Naipoki. Kalama then led the orphans to a favourite playground where they have flattened an anthill and enjoy rolling up and down in the red earth, something Mutara particularly enjoys. Naipoki also enjoyed the game, although the Keepers had to be vigilant to keep Ishanga from the baby, since Ishanga is so pushy. Chemi Chemi, now the only little bull in the Nursery group, enjoys mounting on the girls whenever he spots them lying down. Today he tried Makireti, but got a rude shock when she jumped up and headbutted him so hard that he fell down, screaming!
