On these two days, we took a break from camp rebuilding to
resume the important task of darting hyenas. We drove out to the Double
Crossing area and met up with Kay’s alumna Steph and her children. We were
lucky to finally get a good darting on the second morning, which allowed us to
collect much-needed blood samples and body measurements for our database.

After our morning darting, we went to a nearby camp and did
a hyena talk, teaching the guests about hyena biology and Mara ecology.
