Comments / pictures


Bette died in March 1989. She disappeared but her calves remained with the family, which is the tell-tale sign that a female has died. We have no idea how she died. Her youngest calf, born in May 1987, managed to survive for seven months after she died, but he was just too young to make it without milk and he died at the height of the dry season. Bette’s daughter, Bente, at 19 years old took over as head of the little sub-group
