LettsSafari's Annual Round-up of Herbivores: A Lesson in Organised Chaos

It's time for a little herbivore summer fun at LettsSafari - like herding cats!

The annual round-up of herbivores at LettsSafari was postponed by a couple of weeks this summer thanks to the poor weather conditions. It's an exhausting week of tracking, herding, health-checking, tagging the young and even shearing. We captured some of the action.

It's hard enough to herd herbivores in normal conditions - but when your targets are hiding in the wilderness it can all seem a little overwhelming as you start out. Thank goodness we have a couple of four legged friends to help flush them out!

“Come out, come out, wherever you are!”

When you finally come across them… Some give you weird looks.

“Can’t a lady get any privacy?”

Some trot, some run, some just go like a cat out of hell.

You jog, we sprint!

Some fight…

Too close to call

Some hide…

“Did you count to a hundred?”

Some chill…

Some stare…

Staring you down!

Some prepare to run.

“Preping the toes…”

Some get clipped…

“A little me time at the spa”

Some stay out late.

“Who goes there?”

Some vanish before your eyes…

And some are just too damned scary!
