Changing a GPS collar on a hyaena
In October 2011, we finally got lucky and I managed to dart my 1st hyaena!! We need to change a GPS collar on Cyclope, from the Makwa clan. We sat at a young ele carcass for quite a while and had to drive around to get close enough to her to dart har. We lost her for 30min as she ran away, but managed to find her back. We thus changed the collar and took some body measerements.
Cyclop was first captured in 2009, and she was blind of her right eye at that time. It seem now that her second eye is goign blind too... I was impressed to find her in such a good condition, meaning she's able to feed well enough. Let's see how she'll fare in 2012...
