This was attributed to poaching attempts as they targeted only elephant bulls with big tusks. In the month of May; a zebra that had strayed into a community area was captured and translocated to Chyulu National Park, a big Tusker named “ wide Satao” was treated for a fresh arrow wound, a waterbuck was freed from a snare along the Voi River, a former orphan elephant bull was treated for an arrow wound in Ithumba, while 3 other bulls were treated for arrow wounds in Murondo area in Tsavo East National Park. Finally, an elephant bull was saved from a deep cutting wire snare on the front limb near the Ithumba area of northern Tsavo East.
