The Mupanigawa pack were back south of the hills today killing an adult male impala.
They’re all looking pretty well although some of them rather uncomfortable with their coats full of burrs. These burrs stick in masses on their coats and can become quite uncomfortable. Only as they dry out and become more brittle do they eventually fall off a bit at a time.
Punk still seems to be in charge as the Alpha male.
Sash is looking well and going out of his way to greet the Alpha female.

Now that mating is over the competition for the top spot seems to be over and everybody seems to be friends again. It sure must be a time of great turmoil in the pack when the alpha female is in oestrus. But what happens when another female comes into oestrus? The alpha female will presumably try to prevent her from being mated. And will the alpha male be the man in there? The other female will probably move away from the pack followed by a male or two.

Sash.

The pack still seems to be sitting at 20 members. Whisky is there, so I really don’t know who is missing.
Floppy was being his normal self, and on a number of occasions today came to check out the vehicle. He sure seems to have his own little character and is more independent than his siblings.

Cracker-Jack had a wound on his back that seems to be healing well. I wonder what could have caused that big hole?

One-eye still has his bad limp but now seems to be putting weight on his injured foot.
Toffee’s limp too seems a lot better.
Split is just a happy boy.
