Another long day in field. Took me half a day to wake up.

Driving back on bumpy road, through the noise and the Swahili accents I hear “Kikiyou (=member of Kenyan majority tribe) killed by lion” “you know, larger than eland, with stripes” “the hippo pool” “killed sometime last night.”

Find out later that a “Kudu” (large antelope, not Kenyan tribesman) was killed by a lion by the hippo pools. Ah, now I understand.

Enjoy some Sundowners on rock outcrop (with disagreement as to namesake, new researcher claims its his, other says no way).
