Hi! I am the new Serena research assistant. I have been out
in the Mara for a bit over a month now. A few days ago when Julie and I were
heading back to camp, we came across these three in the middle of the road.
Sherman was moving her two cubs, Rocket and Astro, from
Schiphol Den to DeGaulle Den. As the cubs meandered across the road and snapped
at grass stalks, Sherman patiently waited for them and slowly guided her easily
distracted cubs towards their new den. The last few meters proved a little too
exciting, and Sherman carefully picked up one cub and deposited him in the den
hole. When we left, Sherman was curled up nursing Rocket and Astro.

Poor Sherm, herding cats, I'm sure she's up to the task. Please keep us posted.
It was a great pleasure to meet a fellow Spartan Lilly while staying at the Mara Serena March 11th. When our driver mentioned we were Spartans, she wanted to meet us. Had a very informative discussion about the project. I took many photos of those cute cubs. Have a great photo of Lilly with us but not sure how to post it. Thanks Lilly.
