Collar K4. Eartag: Left White 81. Looking very old. It is almost 11 years since she was darted as an adult, collared, ear tagged, and injected with Gonacon to stop her breeding. I cant see a bulge in her pouch so its possible that that single injection is still effective. Her life has probably been extended a bit by not having to pay the 'cost of reproduction'.

Thanks Don. Yep, definitely looking old. Had found a nice sunny spot for a lay down
