At dawn the whole pack were lying out in the open near Khayeni, all 21 of them. BB is still well but always seems to be in extra pain when they first head out hunting, until her joints have loosened up. Then she hits the front of the pack and will, if not lead the way, be flanking the pack to scoop any prey not encountered by the rest of them. She sure is a classy hunter, even with her handicapped leg.
The dogs were well fed from last night and lethargically headed out hunting across the Umbrella thorn woodland. They encountered several impala but the chase was limp and soon they were lying up at a pan.
Not wishing to roast myself again all day, as I did yesterday, I was back in camp early to catch up on admin.
Back out in the afternoon the dogs had moved a little east but were still resting up. Luckily from here they headed back north at sunset. Going south was impossible for me with the many dongas/ravines and horrendously thick bush.
But even so their hunting attempts were rather futile and we left them resting soon after sunset.
With the moon being past half they could hunt tonight but then they still look fairly well fed from yesterday.

How large do Wild Dog packs get? Do they ever split up into smaller packs? How is a new pack formed? Thanks.
I’ve put this detail in todays video clip. Thanks for asking
Why must there always be people ruining it for others. Very inappropriate Pochka! Please refrain from leaving silly comments like this on such a magnificant site! You are just spoiling it for all of us … something we can do without. Really!
