Smammal trapping

Today was a busy day. We collected data on our way to meet with Dr. Kay Holekamp to learn about small mammal (affectionately called smammals) trapping. Here, students laid out live animal traps then weighed, determined the sex, and ear tagged the Nile grass rats that we trapped before releasing them. 

After trapping and lunch, we went to market day in the local town where the students got to practice their haggling skills. So many blankets!  All of you back home will enjoy all your presents.
