Description:
Chickens carry a variety of diseases that can be transmitted to other birds, so everywhere we go in Africa we collect them from each site. These chickens serve two functions, after we prepare them as specimens the meat is prepared for the next meal. This is Tongai Casigo--a research assistant at Gorongosa National Park--with a recently purchased chicken.
