Arrow and snare wounds were particularly prevalent during the month, and the Unit attended to 2 elephants with arrow injuries as well as a snared elephant, zebra and waterbuck. All, except one elephant as the arrow was poisoned, were successfully treated. A zebra sadly died on the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway when it was knocked down by a vehicle, two other elephants also died from natural causes – which could be contributed to the prevailing drought and a cheetah was treated for recurring mange after it continued to lose body condition.
