We hope you had a good start of the year and that 2020 will be a year to remember! A lot has been going on at DAKTARI and we are very excited to update you on our Wildlife Orphanage.
We're excited to say that we were able to give quite a few of our resident animal friends a new start with the new year. We did 3 animal releases since our last newsletter that we are very proud of.
The first release was oue group of mongooses. We were able to give 12 of these little furry animals a new home on a neighbouring reserve where they quickly started exploring and playing!
The second release involved our beloved waterbuck Pacou. Pacou was getting too big and we wanted him to have the best life he could, so we walked him over to a nearby farm where he can hopefully join another herd of waterbuck.
We made a blogpost about both of these releases if you'd like to read a bit more about them!
And last but not least we set two of our squirrels free! During the year we get lots of little squirrels that are found in people's houses or fall from the roof. We had two of them in the past few months that were raised by our volunteers. Squirrels are really independent really quickly, so it was time for them to go their own way.
We wish them a happy and propserous life in the wild!
