A Trip to Knysa

Today we headed to Knysa, a town about four hours west of Addo Elephant National Park, to meet with Angela Gaylard, region ecologist for SANparks. The meeting went well. We discussed the black rhino project and the issues and the preliminary results that we have had so far. Jordana and Elizabeth also discussed the preliminary results of their elephant project, which is investigating the effect of dominance rank on reproductive cyclicity.

Angela offered for us to stay at her house for the weekend. As Knysa is having its Oyster festival, we gladly accept.
