Catching of Giraffe

The Catching of Giraffe that went through the fench

There were one of our giraffes that broke through our fence to the next door farm we as students were called to go help fix the fench and try to catch the giraffe that has broken through.

We were unable to get a hold of the giraffe that broke through but managed to fix the fench really quickly as we worked together as a team with the help of some of the conservation workers and some of the wild life centre staff.

Fixing the fence we were required to do the following:

• Bending of droppers
• cutting of some of the broken wire
• putting new wire on
• tightning of the fench

After the fixing of the fench we were driving up and down the fench to have a look if we could find any sighn of a youngster or another giraffe. Our search were un sucessfull and we heard that the giraffe that went through were a full grown male and Sieg our manager went into the next door farm to see if he can find the giraffe and yes he found him and walked behind him all the way to see if he can get him to the gate we opend for him. While this was happening we were sitting not far away to watch that there is no other animals that would go through the open gate. The giraffe got away from Sieg through the buches and we were sent back to work on Sondela seeing that there was no way that we were gona catch that giraffe anyway!
