A lioness, one of only dozens living in @gorongosapark , was relaxed as we watched her in the dark. This powerful carnivore is so critical to a healthy ecosystem. This female was collared so the researchers in the park can better understand how these animals are functioning in the park and can keep them protected. Even though she was relaxed, my adrenaline was pumping the whole time! #lionconservation Interrupting my usual photo feed because @lumberjackjonny86 and I are celebrating three years as husband and wife today! Here’s to decades more adventures, love, and life together. #10the4thbewithyou Thank you for the 📷, Vince! I encountered wild elephants for the first time here in @gorongosapark this week! The elephant population was devastated during the country’s civil war, but the #wildlife is recovering and now there are about 500 elephants in the park. They need our help to keep them safe from poachers. These animals are so special, it was an incredible experience to see them in the wild. I was so incredibly fortunate to be in @gorongosapark when this #pangolin was found in a community near the park and brought in by the conservation team to be released. They are very rare to be seen here, and the conservation director told me this was only the sixth he has seen in his many years at the park. These pangolins are threatened as they are valued for their meat and scales in Asia and are the most heavily trafficked animal in the world.
