We even have a lugga named "Bane Lugga." <br /><br />Luggas are a kind of drainage you find out here in the Mara. It not quite a stream or a creek because usually the water is just sitting in a string of pools and rarely ever flows anywhere. Eventually, most lugga drain to the Talek or Mara Rivers. <br /><br />Luggas are a problem for us because the hyenas have a nasty habit of disappearing into them. Or they are always on the side of the lugga opposite you. Which means we have to go find a crossing to get over to them. Most times, while we're looking for a crossing, the hyena decides to conveniently disappear. Luggas are also a good source of bushes and cover and the hyenas love to drive us crazy by just being in bushes and not visible or "no vis."Kennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01735831277345656202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819688123764229065.post-28438404441471742032010-05-10T18:39:35.848+03:002010-05-10T18:39:35.848+03:00So now that you've defined "sack out"...So now that you've defined "sack out", can you define "lugga"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
