Here is a new (old) report from Anita Ericson who clearly has a much better memory than I have ever had – she has – after popular demand – been able to write a report for her 2007 trip to Djibouti.
Does anyone have an opinion on the Wild Ass/Shy Donkey picture?
Djibouti, 2007: Anita Ericson, 5 days & 21 species including Beira, Speke’s Pectinator, Gerenuk and a Crested Rat.

Genetically Welsh, spiritually Australian, currently in New York City. I've also lived and worked in London, Canberra, Paris and Lusaka, and visited over 100 countries. There's more here.
Very interesting with the sighting of a possibly genuin African wild ass! I suggest this is presented to the IUCN SSC Equid Specialist Group (www.equids.org/afwass.php) and one of the group’s co-chairs Patricia Moehlman or Sarah King for comments.
Great report Anita – many thanks for putting it together. I wouldn’t be able to concoct a report of that depth on things I did last year, let alone in 2007.
I followed the advice of Per Ole and contacted Patricia Moehlman. Unfortunately she and her colleagues don’t believe it’s a genuine Wild Ass but a very healthy donkey running free.
