Searching Tandeka’s sub-adult calf’s carcass for ballistics evidence
Sylvester Ncube (Bubye Valley Conservancy Security Sergeant) and Israel Ngarira (Senior Rhino Monitor) searched through the carcass of Tandeka’s calf to locate bullet heads. Three were found in this carcass. This evidence helps us build a case against the poachers and provides clues to the poachers’ identities – the bullet heads found in this rhino were not AK-47 rounds as has been the case in most other recent poaching.
