Comments / pictures

At one point I was so sure that one Juvenile female belonged to the MAs that I
named her Mattie. Gradually I realized that I had made a mistake and that
she was really a member of the VAs. When someone new came to work on
the project they always asked me why there was an elephant named Mattie in
the VA family when all the other members have names beginning with 'V'.
(Years later, when Mattie was radio-collared we re-named her Vicky so her
family membership would be clear to everyone.)
