cool.... might be some where Jan mentioned of the lions killing a good part of the pack. I'm wondering now on reports I saw only mentioning adult male with the pups, if the mom was at den nursing wounds or something...hmmmm

Ranger's Diary has been update for this week and seems the wild dogs were sighted several times.

Karen, I was just reviewing the video of the sighting of the Wild Dogs in June with Pieter and Helen. There were 4 adults in that sighting. Two were believed to be the alpha male and female. Not sure how they might fit in with the single adult and pups we are seeing now though.

hey all,
Aquila in past sightings in ranger reports, but don't remember which one.... I had read of a Dad WD and 2 or 3 pups with him. It had reported that there was 1 more pup but it had saddly disappeared at some point.

Was reading the WE blog about the Wild Dogs. Seems there was a male with this group of Mom and pups at one time. On the 19th of Oct when the Mom and 3 pups went thru at Nkorho, there was a lone wild dog that also went thru about 20 minutes later. Of course it is possible it could have been either the Mom or one of the pups that had circled around or... maybe it was the male trailing behind.

As Nkorho Cam is down as well as WE, I hope it is permissible to post this link to photos submitted by the staff at Djuma.......both Helen and Pieter have some pics there, and there are wonderful wonderful things to look at......

and some pics of our Styx cubs.....altho it is not dated

and a pic of elephants swimming in the present mudhole that our cam usually covers.....

and I do wish the pics were labelled.....but they are all spectacular.
