The Mara Vet Unit attended to 9 cases in July 2025 involving 4 elephants, 3 lions, 1 cheetah and a buffalo for various ailments.
Two of the elephant cases were spearings most likely due to human-wildlife conflict (HWC), 1 was for an arrow wound and the other was an elephant rescued by SWT that had a broken femur and limited mobility. The buffalo and one lion were also speared related to HWC and the other cases attended to were deemed natural. All cases were successfully treated apart from the buffalo which was given a guarded prognosis.
