Well, animals do move around all the time to find better environments, especially during civil strife and droughts. And you know our country's been plagued by both. Perhaps the "original" Somali Animals are now in other nearby Countries? I'm sure a whole lotta em' disappeared due to Poachery, tho.

Matter of fact, I think I kindah read something (just this year) about how the U.S warships off of the Somali coast, on these Anti-Piracy missions, occasionally send their choppers to dip into Somalia to hunt for Wild animals, such as deer and ostriches. As fast as they come, the helicopters then returned to a warship off the coast. No real harm done to the animal populations as its only a small number that they get away with, but I still find it disturbing how they can just do as they please in Somalia. That Sh!t is mad Illegal, but I guess so long as our country ain't got its act togetha, there's no such thing as respecting its sovereignty.

Who cares about animals when human life is worth less than plastic utensils in Somalia.

abakar,

Muqdisho port used to be a big stop for the ivory trade which ran from Gedo (Luuq and Baardheere) to Xamar

Ok thanks i didn't know that.

Mitchell, S. Map of Africa, Philadelphia 1867 Horn of Africa detail, where Ghika expedition took place.



By the way, does anyone know where Del-Marodile is located? It sounds similar to Day Maroodi which is a village in Lower Shabelle.

We should get young ones of each of those animals and place them in the wild again.

So many goats and camels for them to kill
