News and opinions from the born free, critters and their human friends as overheard by Duma Duke

OBAMA it is!

Monday, August 20th, 2007

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present:

OBAMA

That is what we unanimously named our latest arrival bongo baby boomer No. 9.

Baby Bongo #9 for ‘07 - and counting!

Born at the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy, OBAMA comes with an American background (his dam was raised at the San Diego Zoo) and Kenyan roots of course, his sire is a native Kenyan born bongo named Noah.

OBAMA will join the group of Kenya born bongo earmarked for release to re-establish bongo on Mount Kenya where they once thrived. The project is undertaken by the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy and supported by the American Association of Zoological Parks (Bongo SSP).

We do hope the Senator from Illinois will be pleased and lend his support to this globally important wildlife and nature conservation project.

  1. My cab driver in Nairobi just about ran us off the road in a fit of excitement as I was headed to the airport for departure when I told him that I had read Senator Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope, and that I would be happy to vote for him as President

    I’m sure that I don’t know what else may happen if he is elected but one thing is clear: Kenya will be our best friend until the end of time. They are positively BURSTING with pride in him.

    I hope the busy senator will hear about his namesake!

  2. What does “Obama” mean in swahili? I hope the senator will listen the importance.
