Published on the 15th of April, 2022

The month of March remained dry with moderate temperatures; a sign that the area may experience rains in the coming month of April. Despite the low precipitation levels, there still existed adequate forage and water from the permanent rivers that meander through the Meru ecosystem. The availability of water and food saw animals with a good body condition being sighted across the Meru ecosystem.

During the month, the Meru Mobile Veterinary team attended to 5 cases, including an autopsy of an elephant carcass suspected to have suffered a fight wound, treatment of a giraffe bull for a cranial wound and treatment of a female Grevy zebra for a failed predatory attack in the Meru National Park. In addition, the Vet team attended to a giraffe bull for a wire snare in Garissa area and another for mange in Wajir all with a good prognosis.
