WILDLIFE REPORT SINGITA GRUMETI TANZANIA for the Month of April, Two Thousand and Twenty WILDLIFE REPORT SINGITA GRUMETI TANZANIA For the month of April, Two Thousand and Twenty Temperature Rainfall Recorded Sunrise & Sunset Average minimum: 19°C Faru Faru 239 mm Sunrise 06:39 Average maximum: 29°C Sabora 184 mm Sunset 18:41 Minimum recorded: 18°C Sasakwa 197 mm Maximum recorded: 32°C April has been another wet month with heavy rains persisting. The Grumeti River has burst its banks on a number of occasions, taking with it many trees and bridges alike. This month we have lost two bridges to the torrents! The Old German Bridge, built at the turn of the century, can no longer be used as the banks have been washed away either side and the bridge structure itself has been badly damaged. The second bridge to go down was the main Fort Ikoma Bridge. We have not seen the rivers swell this way in the last ten years. However, despite the rains, the air is clear and fresh and the wildlife of the Grumeti Reserve continues to thrive. We have had some wonderful cat sightings this month, including leopards, lions and cheetahs. The elephants have moved back into the reserve in great numbers and at times, looking south from Koroya Hill, you may cast your eyes over 350 elephants or more. Out west, on the open plains, herds of zebra and topi congregate in their thousands and there are many great eland on the high ground. The colours in the sky during the evening light are incredible and the clarity for photographic opportunity is magical. Here’s a sightings snapshot for April: Lions • We have seen the Butamtam and Nyasirori lions most days this month. • The four youngsters of the Butamtam Pride are doing very well and continue to stay strong. • The Nyasirori Pride continue to hunt buffalo on the grasslands west of Sabora Camp. • The Ridge Pride are also doing very well. The pride consists of three lionesses and four cubs of ten months. Leopards • We have had great leopard sightings again this month. • The Grumeti North female and her two daughters of six months are doing very well and are spending most of their time along the Sand Road. • A very exciting observation of another leopardess with two cubs of four months old was made at the base of Ridge Hill. • A shy male leopard has also been observed in the Sand Road location and Tulia’s son has been seen up on the Nyasirori high ground. Cheetahs • Cheetah sightings this month have been lower than previous months as many individuals move into the National Park onto the higher ground when things get really wet here. • We have observed a very relaxed female, however, in the Grumeti North Hill region, just west of Faru Faru. It was lovely to see her scanning from the termite mounds as she looked for a meal. Elephants • April has seen hundreds of elephants arriving onto the reserve. • Some magical displays took place at Sasakwa Dam and in the Koroya Hill region. • We have witnessed elephants mating a number of times this month. Hyenas • The Boundary Pan Clan are doing very well and managing to hang in there during the tough conditions. The youngsters are getting stronger and stronger which is great to see. Buffalos • There have been lovely herds of buffalo, as always, here on the Grumeti. • Buffalo bulls have been utilising the Sasakwa Hill region extensively this month. • Large herds were observed in the west. Rhinos • The rhinos continue to do very well in Ikorongo region. • The animals seem to be settling well into more defined ranges which is great to see. Some exciting and informative Bush Stories to follow, as well as the April Gallery of images. “Zito” the Bull Elephant Zito in Swahili means “weight” (due to his lovely ivory, of course) and it was absolutely fantastic to see him back on the Singita Grumeti reserve this month. The last time he passed through was in June 2019 and we have not seen him since… until now! This beautiful bull elephant is around the age of 50 years old and one of the last giants of the greater Serengeti ecosystem. Zito is an absolute pleasure to view out in the field, always gentle and unassuming and usually incredibly relaxed in our presence. This really makes him a little easier to photograph and being such an impressive bull, it really is a joy when you find the right angle with your camera! An elephant’s tusks are modified incisors that continue to grow throughout the elephant’s lifetime. Other animals possess tusks such as hippos and warthogs, however, these are modified canines. The tusk is composed largely of dentine and with age the outer layers can begin to darken off or yellow. Tusks are without doubt incredibly important tools for the elephant and perform many functions to aid the elephant through life. More often than not you may see that one of the tusks is worn significantly more than the other and this is often due to the elephant having a more favoured tusk whilst at work…. just like us favouring to write with our right or left hand! Tusks are used for defence purposes and for competition between bulls when battling for breeding rights with cows. The tusks are used in many ways to harvest a food supply whether it be ripping branches from the trees or gauging out strips of bark from the trunk to then peel off with the trunk. Elephants will often use their tusks to dig in river beds for water or at the edge of waterholes when drinking or mud spraying. When pulling grass and plants up from the ground with the trunk the elephants will use the tusks to beat the grass or shrubs on in order to remove much of the mud or sand that maybe attached to roots before popping it into the mouth. These great old bull elephants, as they get older, will begin moving into retirement meaning that they will pay less attention to the breeding herds and females in oestrous within the herds. Wandering giants that move great distances where they want and when they want. A true relic of time and the real king of the jungle. Since first locating Zito out in the west of the reserve, a few days later, he had moved some distance and was sighted in the Ridge Hills, a stone’s throw from Sasakwa Lodge. Klipspringer of the Sasakwa Hill These beautiful small antelope species are resident here on Sasakwa Hill and are known in Swahili as “mbuzi mawe” which directly translates into “rock goat.” They are a small, stocky antelope with a coarse coat that has almost a grizzled appearance. There are many individual colour variations in this species depending on location, however, they are more often than not a russet or yellowish colour on the flanks, neck and face, and grey on the legs, back and the haunches. These dainty little antelope are very much at home on the rocky cliffs and outcrops of Sasakwa Hill. They move around on the steep terrain easily with their small rounded hoofs that have developed a rubbery consistency to aid in gripping the rocks as the antelope traverses the steep hill sides. When alarmed, the klipspringer can leap from boulder to boulder with incredible agility. We have two sub-species here in Tanzania, a northern race and a southern race. Amazingly, with the northern race that we see here on the Grumeti, both the male and the female carry horns. With the klipspringers in the south however, only the males carry the horns. It is really quite incredible how the evolution in a single species under different ecological pressures may develop different traits. The klipspringers can usually be found in monogamous pairs or in small family units. They defend small territories that are guarded by the pair, and the male can often be seen standing motionless, scanning the valleys for competition or potential danger.

  • Mothers and Daughters Between Two Cultures in Short Fiction by Edwidge Danticat
    Beteckning: Akademi för Utbildning och Ekonomi Avdelning för humaniora Mothers and Daughters between Two Cultures in Short Fiction by Edwidge Danticat Kristine Abrahamsson Mars 2011 Examensarbetet/uppsats/15poäng/C-nivå Engelska Engelska C Supervisor: Dr. Elizabeth Kella Examiner: Dr. Alan Shima Table of Contents 1.1 Introduction 3 1.2 Background 4 2.1 Analysis of “New York Day Women” 7 2.2 Analysis of “Caroline‟s Wedding” 11 3. Conclusion 20 2 1.1 Introduction In this essay I examine the Haitian-American author Edwidge Danticat‟s1 representation of mother and daughter relationships between two cultures in two of the stories in her short story collection Krik? Krak! Her stories focus on problems with immigration, gender and history, and they concern mother-daughter relationships. Characteristic of Danticat‟s stories is the focus on women and their search for identity.2 The mothers and daughters in the two stories I have chosen to examine are immigrants from Haiti of the first or second generation and have lived in the United States for several years. Krik? Krak! focuses on women, their struggles and motherhood. In the last two stories of Krik? Krak!, “Caroline‟s Wedding” and “New York Day Women” the mother‟s and daughter‟s relationships are influenced by the situation of being caught in the middle of two cultures, a situation that is problematic both for the first and second generation. While reading these stories I found that the rifts between the mothers and daughters are profound, and that the gap between the mothers and daughters were widened by the differences between Haitian and American culture and by the complexity of the political relationship between the countries.

Is She Chinese or American? On the Identity Communication Patterns between Caucasian Parents and their Adopted Chinese Daughters in the U.S. INTRODUCTION The laws of supply and demand have led to a boom in international adoption. Everyday, an average of 20 American families adopt children from overseas, mostly from Third World countries. Adoption of children from China by citizens of the United States began in 1992 when the Chinese government passed a law ratifying international adoption (China Adoption Website, 2007). As of 2001, more than 23,000 children born in China have left Chinese orphanages to join adoptive parents in the U. S. (Miller-Loessi & Kilic, 1999). In 2006 alone, Americans adopted 6,493 children from China, more than from any other country.

  • Mathematics for Parents: Facilitating Parents’ and Children’S Understanding in Mathematics
    MATHEMATICS FOR PARENTS: FACILITATING PARENTS’ AND CHILDREN’S UNDERSTANDING IN MATHEMATICS Marta Civil Cristi Guevara Martha Allexsaht-Snider University of Arizona University of Arizona University of Georgia [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] The study examines ethnically and linguistically diverse parents’ learning in an eight-week Math for Parents course on fractions, decimals and percentages. Analysis of classroom observations, interviews, focus groups, written feedback, videotapes, and task-based/clinical interviews provided rich data yielding findings about both parents’ affective and cognitive learning as well as their understandings of how to support their children’s learning of mathematics. The research points to an appreciation among the parents for the importance of learning mathematics with understanding. It also raises some questions concerning the goals of mathematical learning experiences for parents. Context Our research takes place in the context of a large parental involvement project in K-12 mathematics. MAPPS1 (Math and Parent Partnerships in the Southwest) is a four-year long project that focuses on parental involvement in mathematics. It is now in place at four sites: in Tucson since 1999 and at the other three sites since 2001. The implementation at the different sites varies somewhat according to local needs, but overall we share some common goals. One such goal is to develop leadership teams (parents and teachers/administrators) that will help in the mathematics education outreach

  • 1995 Valentine NWR Annual Narrative Report
    VALENTINE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Valentine, Nebraska Annual Narrative Report Calendar Year 1995 INTRODUCTION Valentine National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) was established on August 4, 1935 under the Migratory Bird Conservation Act by Executive Order 7142. The purpose of the refuge as stated in the executive order is “as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife.” Acquisition funding came from Duck Stamp sales and the Emergency Conservation Fund Of 1933. The 71,272-acre Valentine NWR is located in the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska. The Sandhills contain the largest remaining stands of mid and tall grass native prairie left in North America. The refuge is a unique and ecologically important component of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The refuge has about 49,000 acres of grassy, undulating sand dunes, 13,000 acres of sub-irrigated meadows, and 10,000 acres of shallow lakes and marshes. The refuge is home to 270 species of birds, 59 species of mammals, and 22 species of reptiles and amphibians. The refuge is important to nesting and migrating waterfowl and is also one of the few places where good numbers of sharp-tailed grouse and prairie chickens can be found in the same area.. Several threatened or endangered birds stop at the refuge during migration. Two listed plants and one listed insect are also found here. Most of the native flora and fauna found here historically are still present today. The refuge is part of a complex administered from Fort Niobrara NWR. Valentine NWR is in Cherry County with a subheadquarters located on Hackberry Lake, 17 miles south of the town of Valentine on US 83 then 13 miles west on State Spur 16B.
