Absolutely incredible day documenting an elephant darting and blood sampling as part of an ongoing contraception study of various elephant populations in South Africa. This mature female was estimated at around 38 years of age and as such has been on multiple contraception cycles in the past (making her a perfect research candidate) to help keep elephant numbers manageable within Phinda ensuring enough food and suitable habitat for all of the animals including the other elephants. Blood was taken as part of research to study the long term physiological effects of the contraceptive on the elephants body. Absolutely fascinating stuff and an incredibly smooth, problem free darting and reversal procedure. She was given the reversal drug and within a couple of minutes was back on her feet no worse for wear and off to find the rest of her herd. What a privilege to witness! A huge thanks to all involved including @andbeyondrangers @simonjamesnaylor @hyena_man @wildtomorrowfund including a huge shoutout to the amazing wildlife vet Mike Toft! ----------------------------------------------- Nikon D800e + Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art Lens f2 1/3200sec ISO100 @lexarmemory Professional Cards @hahnelindustries Batteries ----------------------------------------------- #elephant #trunk #phinda #wildlifevets #africa #southafrica #wildlife #animals #shannonwild #sigma35art #kwazulunatal #zululand @animalavengers

After the fastest two weeks of my life in South Africa I’m back in the Caribbean and starting the next semester of school. I went through a program called wildlifevetssa and it was the greatest experience of my life. I drew blood from wildebeests and crocodiles, monitored animals under anesthesia, and learned so much about the game industry in SA. Before I went on this trip I was against big game hunting but I didn't know much about it. I learned there that the hunting industry is pretty much the only thing driving conservation there. There’s money in keeping these species alive so people are breeding them and keeping them healthy and they allow hunters to come and kill a few but not all obviously because then there would be no business left. The meat usually goes to the towns and the people that need it get fed. It sucks that there has to be money involved for people to actually care about helping save these species but that’s the way the world works. Ideally everyone would care about conserving no matter what but the corruption and human nature in general prevents that from happening. I never thought I would ever say this but I support big game hunting as long as it keeps preserving the African species that need our help.
