Hadzabe Tribe Hunts and Cooks Porcupine in the Wild: A Look into 2024’s Traditional Practices

In the heart of Tanzania, the Hadzabe tribe continues to embrace their ancient traditions, including hunting porcupines in the wild—a food source that has long sustained them. This year, as they engage in the hunt, Hadzabe hunters utilize their remarkable tracking skills, following footprints and signs to locate and capture these animals. Once the porcupine is caught, the tribe gathers to prepare it over an open fire, a cooking process that is both simple and effective. The Hadzabe use minimal tools, allowing the meat to roast and develop its natural flavors from the smoke and heat of the flames. Watching them cook highlights their survival skills and adaptability, showcasing methods passed down for generations. Beyond just a meal, the gathering around the fire symbolizes unity and tradition. Tribe members share stories, bond over the meal, and keep alive the practices that define their cultural identity. In 2024, as the world changes rapidly, the Hadzabe’s steadfast connection to thei

Elephants Rescued from Water Tank in Southwest China

 In China’s Yunnan province, rescuers employed helicopters and a digger to save three wild Asian elephants, including a calf, from a water tank  where they had been trapped for more than two days, according to state media.

Photos revealed the elephants submerged in muddy water within a narrow concrete basin, with only their trunks visible as they struggled to breathe.

Forestry officials from Yunnan reported to the Xinhua news agency that the young elephant likely fell in first, prompting two adult elephants to follow in a failed rescue attempt.

Efforts to save the trapped animals intensified as a nearby herd, numbering over a dozen, became increasingly agitated, repeatedly trying to pull out their stranded companions. Conditions worsened for the calf, with heavy rain on Monday hampering the rescue.

“We were concerned that the baby elephant might choke or succumb to exhaustion,” said Xiong Chaoyong, deputy manager of Yunnan’s Asian elephant breeding and rescue center, through Xinhua.

To create a safe distance between the rescue operation and the herd, rescuers used firecrackers and helicopters. This allowed a digger to break through one tank wall, forming an escape route for the elephants.

The operation, lasting about 30 minutes, resulted in a minor eye injury to one of the adult elephants, according to the Beijing News. Afterward, all three elephants made their way safely out of the area on Tuesday afternoon.

Asian elephants are highly protected in China, though their population has dwindled to roughly 300 in the wild, primarily due to poaching.
