Life in the near-desert
Category: Community | Date: Nov 27 2007 | By: admin
Friends, this blog post is a collection of photos to give you more insight into our lives and environment.
This dry country is our home. We are pastoralists - we depend on our goats and camels for almost everything. We do not have piped water - it is fetched from the river in jerry cans and is carried to our houses. We are also doing some farming especially near the river.
Gerenuk are amongst the most beautiful of African antelopes - few people eat them, they are believed to cause sterility in men!
Do you know what these giraffe are doing?
I will be posting more often once I have a computer. I really appreciate all the donations that have already been received - however we are still short of a few hundred dollars.

The giraffes with entwined necks? My guesses would be mating behavior or mutual removal of parasites?????

Think they are ‘necking’ i.e. fighting.
