The other evening we heard lions roaring not far from our station. Ishango has become suitable to carnivores now that animals such as antelope and buffalos have come back to the area.

The day after we heard the lions, we went on patrol and found the remains of a Ugandan Kob, which is the antelope species found here. It was clear that it had become the dinner of the lions we had heard the night before…

Lions in Ishango? that’s awesome! Will this bring more poachers to the area, too? I hope not.

So glad to hear that the wild”life” is returning to that beautiful place. It must be something to hear a lion roar in the wild. Awesome! Lisa
