Elephant Research in Amboseli: a
perspective from 28 years
I have been studying elephants in Amboseli for the last 28 years, and
I have been extraordinarily privileged to spend the best part of my life
with the wonderful elephant population there.
I feel very lucky to have lived with them and to have followed their
lives for all these years. I
also feel that I would like to give something back to them and to all
elephants.
Today I
would like to talk about research, as this is the topic of the conference,

out every day enjoying being with elephants that were stuffing their faces
with huge clumps of green grass or taking the time to socialize now that
their bellies were full and there was little danger. Families came together
in large aggregations of 100-200 and the calves had great games with new and
old play partners. Musth bulls started turning up at the end of the month
hoping some females would come into oestrus. They still had a bit of a wait.
It takes a month or two for the females to recover from a drought and
to get into good enough condition for reproduction....read
