African Wild Dogs

[Kyle Jones]

We spent one morning in the Savuti watching this den of African wild dogs. The pack had left for the morning hunt, leaving one female to watch the den and pups. She called the pups out a few times to feed, and then the pack returned with great excitement. Here are some photos of the adult, a couple of pups, and mom calling them out of the den. I'll process and share some photos of the returning pack providing food for the pups later.

Wow - looks like you got a good show that morning. Neat captures of the family.

A great opportunity and excellent results. That must have been a highlight of the trip.

Great set

I really like these. Such a cool experience. Thanks for sharing.

 

[JimFox]

Wow, so cool! This is not a dog that I would want to mess around with, but they look really cool in their own patchwork kind of way. I wonder what the ancestry is on these guys.

Great set of Images and great job at capturing the essence of the moment.
