Bit of Struggle Still

Dr. Mike Loomis' field diary is brought up-to-date on Field Trip Earth through yesterday. The "A Bit of a Struggle" message of January 11 remains true for this early 2010 operation in Cameroon.

"I am anxious to get back to the field. We have had a bit too much down time between trips, although it was necessary to get everything prepared," says the NC Zoo lead veterinarian.
