1 Mammals and Reptiles Checklist
2 Introduction Sosian is a 24,000-acre ranch in the centre of the vast and beautiful landscape known as the Laikipia plateau. Sosian takes pride in its wildlife conservation and the result has seen, in keeping with much of Laikipia, a resurgence in wildlife species and their numbers. The area supports a number of rare northern species like the endemic Jackson's hartebeest, Grevy's zebra and reticulated giraffe. Sosian is home to a wide diversity of wildlife, including four of the Big Five - lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo. Furthermore, Sosian is home to endangered species such as cheetah and wild dog, once thought to be extinct from Laikipia. Sosian is a member of the Laikipia Wildlife Forum, working to protect Laikipia's wildlife through sustainable land use. By removing its fences Sosian allows wildlife to move freely, encouraging the game to return to the area. Along with over 350 species of birds identified on Sosian, there are approximately 70 species of mammals and 30 species of reptiles. The source for the classification, nomenclature and grouping of the mammal list is The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals (Jonathan Kingdon, 1997) and of the reptile list is A Field Guide to the Reptiles of East Africa (Spawls, Howell, Drewes and Ashe, 2002). Sosian, Laikipia, Kenya
