(view all the latest entries for BURRA) 12/22/2007 - It was a fateful day for the Keepers, who could not hold back their tears upon seeing Mweiga collapse on the way back to the Stockades in the evening. She had a very successful feeding day accompanied by Burra, without showing any noticeable sign of weakness. She took a normal rest under a tree in the afternoon. When she fell, the Keepers thought that her legs must have become entangled in a creeper, so rushed to assist her, but noticed that she was too weak to help herself in getting up. The situation was engulfed in confusion and disbelief for 15 minutes before she died. Burra was watching closely, and returned to the Stockades with the Keepers, before raising his trunk, and running towards the Eastern side of Mazinga Hill where he joined Natumi’s group. He never returned to the Stockades that night.
