Territorial fights are a natural part of lion behaviour, and intervention is not taken lightly. In cases of severe injury, veterinary teams assess the animal’s condition and the wider conservation context before deciding whether treatment is appropriate. The aim is to relieve serious suffering while allowing natural behaviour and ecosystem processes to continue as much as possible.
In the wild, lions fight for territory, dominance and their place within the pride. Sometimes, those battles leave more than scars.
Near Kishanga, Olare ya Pili, a young male lion was spotted limping badly. When the KWS Mara Conservancy Veterinary Unit reached him, the extent of his injuries became clear, deep puncture wounds, a wound below the jaw and a badly dislocated shoulder, likely from a fierce territorial fight.
His wounds were cleaned and treated, and he received antibiotics, pain relief and supportive care. However, the shoulder injury remains serious, and his recovery outlook remains guarded.
He is part of a pride of about 10 lions. For now, the focus is on giving him the best chance to heal and regain his strength.

@_uknown2346 Yes, farmed ostrich meat can be legally produced in Kenya under the required KWS licensing and regulations. Wild ostriches, however, must not be hunted for meat.
Mmetutag sana!
Haya, let’s address the zebra in the room. 😄
AI (Artificial Intelligence) imeamua kupea zebra kazi ya kubeba maji na kureport for donkey duty, yet hakuna zebra imeapply KWS kubadilisha species. 😂
Jokes aside, wild means wild. Zebras and other wildlife must never be captured, tamed or used for domestication.
Landowners and communities with wildlife on their land can instead help protect them by establishing private or community conservancies registered by KWS.
Let donkeys be properly cared for, zebras keep their stripes, and Kenya’s wildlife remain wild.

To establish a private conservancy, the landowner generally needs to have legal rights to the land, a clear wildlife conservation purpose, an appropriate management plan, and suitable governance and habitat-management arrangements. The conservancy must then be registered with KWS in line with Kenya’s wildlife laws.For guidance on the exact requirements and application process, contact KWS on 0800 597 000.

@SankeiSaitoti Hawa ni wageni wameamua kujileta home 😄
Pin us the location, usiwageuze livestock bana.
Waache wabaki wild! Ukiwaona wanarudi-rudi kwa shamba, tuchanueni so we can advise on the best way to coexist with them.
Layamorok, Baringo County, two wild ostriches were found with arrows buried deep in their bodies.
They had harmed no one. They were simply being wild.
Our Veterinary and Capture Team moved in to rescue them, carefully restraining the birds and removing the arrows.
These two were lucky to be found. But how many others may still be suffering silently, unseen?
Their pain should remind us that wildlife deserves to live free from cruelty. Let us protect these ostriches, admire them from a distance, and allow them to remain wild and free.

A young female white rhino at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy was found with a deep wound on her right thigh after an encounter with an aggressive male.
The wild can be unforgiving, especially when an animal is injured. But she was not left to face it alone.
The Mt. Kenya Veterinary Unit, working alongside teams from Samburu, Lewa, Reteti and Loisaba, moved in to treat her and give her the best chance at recovery.
The good news? Her prognosis is good.
While she continues to heal, efforts to protect rhinos across the landscape continue. The Lewa-Borana rhino ear-notching exercise is ongoing, with 15 rhinos notched so far, helping conservation teams identify, monitor and protect each individual more effectively.
Because protecting rhinos is not just about numbers. It is about every individual life we are able to save.
