Sauwah, thank you so much for your donation and your continued support!
Uni’s 4 little cubs are definitely very cute and the photo in my previous blog entry was a male cub. Two of the cubs are male and 2 are female. When they are very young, they do have blue/grey eyes.
To answer your question Sauwah, my project relies on funding from private donors such as what comes through WildlifeDirect. I also have a few grants from zoos in the US who fund my fieldwork for a limited period. For example, I was given funds for fuel for lion monitoring for 6 months. When the 6 months are over, I need to write another grant for funds to cover the next period. I sometimes receive the funds, but also get turned down and I need to try again! I spend a lot of time writing funding applications as I am sure my other fellow bloggers do.
Below are a few more photos of Uni’s cubs -taken last week in Samburu National Reserve.
