Kakama update

Latest from the Mt Bruce ranger 6/6/07 (Colorado was released at the same time, but is also male):

“Hiya folks

We had a transmitter change on both Colorado and Kakama last week - they haven't gone that far from the release site - only about 800m south and they have climbed to near the top of a short spur and are occasionally found on the main ridge right behind the National Wildlife Centre. They have stayed close to each other since the release, occasionally even in the same burrow!

Colorado weighs in at 1940g (60 above release weight) and is in good condition

Kakama weighs 1650g (140 up on release weight) and is also in good condition.

Next check on transmitters is due in November, so I'll be able to give you a further update then.
