Zimbabwe Wild Dogs

Hi guys,

I just want to introduce you to Moreangels Mbizah, a masters student from the University of Zimbabwe who has recently joined the wild dog project for her 3 month field project.

Moreangels will be analysing the faecal samples we’ve been collecting from wild dogs, lions, hyenas and leopards to look at the prey-choice overlap between this large carnivore guild.  This will help us to establish the extent of competition for prey that the wild dogs face from the rapidly increasing lion and hyena populations.  She’s also been helping us the last few days with a couple of wild dog immobilisations, which Rafael will tell you about in the next post.

So, welcome to Moreangels!

Rosemary
