Clark inspects hippo damage in a corn field near the Blyde River in Limpopo province of South Africa. In addition to working on his own Honors Capstone Experience/Thesis project, Clark is assisting graduate student Molly Duvall with her thesis. Duvall’s research aims to decrease human-animal conflict through the use of scarecrows that release smells and sounds of predators.
