ZEBRA REPLY

Here is the answer to the question about the type of Zebra we have here in Kasungu. When I first saw them I knew there was somthing strange about them and that they were not just standard Burchell's zebra.
"The Zebras in Kasungu are Crawshay's zebras, they can sometimes have shadow stripes and most noticeably they have horizontal stripes the full length of the legs and stripes which often extend all the way round the belly. You should be able to find them on the internet on wikipedia or something like that but in books unless you have a very comprehensive mammal book the Crawshay's will be included in plains zebras and may not even include images to compare to."
The talk at WESM went very well and attendees aprreciated my efforts.
All is very quiet here at the moment except for the local people fishing in the dam. It is illegal but they dont seem to care. They say it is done because of poverty so I am going to try and offer some of the more desperate among them some work and see if that helps or not. Only time will tell.
