Thirsty work!
Having a long neck is great for feeding where no others can but makes drinking slightly tricky!
Roan antelope
Between 1986 and 1993, the roan antelope population in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, declined from about 450 to 45 animals. At Hanchi and Zingela these animals are being bred. Volunteers monitor their densities, age and condition on horseback.
Thirsty elephant
Elephants don't drink with their trunks, but use them as "tools" to drink with. This is accomplished by filling the trunk with water and then using it as a hose to pour it into the elephant's mouth.
Buffalo Capture
When animals need to be relocated, a specialised capture team comes into to do the job. This is hands-on and adrenaline fuelled work!
