On the 26th may 8 pm, every one at the Milgis Trust base was treated to a very unusual noise… It sounded like a camel in distress… So much so that the samburu warriors rushed down into the bush below the hill to find the camel, they thought it was being killed by one of those famous Milgis Lions!!, mentioned in my last post!.. They nervously searched all round, but could not find anything, so sat on the side of the hill and listened.. The second time it called they realised that it was not quite a camel!!.. The next morning the only tracks around were striped Hyena.. They have a den on the next hill which we have been watching for about 4 months but not heard a sound!!.. There seems to be two quite small young, one older one and the mother.. Initially they were so shy, but beginning to show themselves quite alot now.. Both Spotted and striped Hyena are quite plentifull in this area, but again are extremely shy.. We hardly ever see them on safari, so are delighted to beable to watch this familly with our binoculars!!, some times coming out to suckle and play quite early..
