Wonky

Wonky is a loved character here in Djuma and on WildEarth. He is a bull elephant with some deformities (right tusk curls downward, clubbed rear left foot, skull) yet he is a trooper and a gentle sole and often comes close to the vehicle.

Operation Vervet

There is a small troop of vervet monkeys that visits our camp frequently and sometimes raids our kitchen. They are so good that they can sneak in while people are actually in there fixing something to eat. They are also a lot of fun to watch. I have occasionally sat for little periods of times watching them and they are slowly getting use to me. Now I am going to sit with them for longer and follow them a little and let them get use to me and a camera so I can start getting some video of them.

They are quite fun to watch here are a couple quick pics.

Yup finally updating, and you wont let me stop lol

Finally I am going to update my blog sorry it has taken me awhile. I will probably just post a bunch of pics/videos to where here is the first.

It seems like people enjoy watching me eat things so here is me eating a mopani worm that Siphiwe brought in for me. It is the caterpillar stage of a moth which is eaten locally. There are various was to prepare it this one was dried like a beef jerky.
