Hi,
Grevy’s were ‘introduced’ into Tsavo East NP some decades ago…and the population has persisted…but remains small. I seem to recall a figure of 10-20 animals. I have, however, never heard of Grevy’s in Tsavo West NP or south of the Chyulus. I suspect that this a good range extension record…if valid.
I am copying this to people who will know more about Grevy’s in this region.
Regards,
Tom

The co-ordinates put the Grevy's south of Chyulus, has anyone ever
seen a Grevy's in the south before, or even in the Tsavos. I suppose
they could wander in to the far NE of Tsavo East, but that is not an
area that many people have ever visited with the history of Somali
banditry.
Best to all
Brian
