Back in Ulaanbaatar

Two months have gone by since I last wrote. The trip from camp to UB went fine, it was exceptionally long and quite boring but otherwise fine. I have had a great time home but now it’s time to get started. We will spend some days in UB, buying food and equipment and then it’s off to the Gobi. On the sixth of February a South African named Guy will arrive to camp. Guy has caught a lot of leopards in Africa and I am looking forward to learning some new stuff from him. I am eager to se the pictures in our trap cameras and to start deploying traps.

I will not be able to access this site in camp, I send messages to Guillaume Chapron at Grimso Wildlife Research Station and he posts them. That means I can’t reply to your comments. Still, please write because Guillaume sends the comments once in a while and it warms to read what you have written

Longtail was shot by a herder in early January. It feels sad, I liked the cat and he deserved better than that.

Over to Chappen…
