OTS-FFP back in the Cape of Good Hope Again!
The Organisation for Tropical Studies (OTS) are back in town and we had a fantastic session marking up Xenopus gilli for three days down at the Cape of Good Hope. We last saw them in February - see blog entry here, here and here!
The FFP group was excellent, and very happy to get their hands (and occassionally feet) wet, in order to mark up as many frogs as possible.
I was really lucky to have the help of PhD student Nitya Mohanty (above) who got stuck into the tagging work. Together with OTS, we had 282 captures of X. gilli as well as 8 X. laevis which were removed from the reserve.
By the end of the trip, they were all literally jumping for joy!
Really looking forward to the frog report from: Anson MacKinney, Jake Voorhees, Blythe Owen,
