November 7th

Kilaguni and Kasigau had a strength testing Match today, but Kasigau had to surrender since Kilaguni proved too strong for him. It was a very hot day so all the orphans enjoyed the mudbath, after which Kalama led the way back to browse for the rest of the day before returning in the evening.

The Ex Orphans joined the Juniors at the Lucerne pile today, and later separated. Kandecha led the Juniors to the Kanziku area up until mudbath time, when Kandecha led the way. Later Kilaguni engaged Ololoo in a Pushing Game which was interrupted by Sabachi who pushed Ololoo away.

Having reached the browsing field, Ololoo engaged Kilaguni in a Pushing Match which lasted only a few moments before Ololoo was defeated. At the mudbath only Ololoo, Kitirua, Chaimu and Kilaguni went in to wallow while the rest opted for a dustbath instead.

Again the Ex Orphans mingled with the Juniors at the Lucerne hand-out. Later Ololoo again challenged Kilaguni and this time the contest ended in a draw! In the afternoon they settled down to browse the Kanziku area before returning in the evening.

At the browsing area, Kilaguni engaged Ololoo again, and then mounted him. The Juniors decided to skip the wallow today, and having taken their milk, enjoyed a dustbath instead before heading back to feed for the remainder of the day.

The same four Ex Orphans who came yesterday – namely Kora, Rapsu, Lualeni and Naserian – returned again today to share the Juniors’ Lucerne. At mudbath time only Ololoo, Kilaguni, Chaimu and Tumaren wallowed while the rest headed for the dustbath.
