New research station

Thanks to a very generous donation from Mr. Thom Hogan, during the past several days the research team from the Holekamp lab has been able to establish a new Carnivore Monitoring station in the western part of the Masai Mara, in an area known as the Mara Conservancy. The accompanying photos show erection of the new research station: they include pictures of the site when we first arrived, Dr. Holekamp and MSU graduate student Eli Swanson unloading a vehicle, Kate Shaw and Eli Swanson at the newly erected kitchen tent, and a shot of our new lab tent.
