The pups were out the den soon after I arrived. There was just a faint glow in the east and still too dark for me to film. But they played outside for some time and eventually the light improved and I was able to film.
Then I heard what sounded like something chewing on my vehicle at the bottom of the hill. I can’t see the vehicle from my hide, but I also couldn’t go down there without disturbing the pups. So I sat tight while my vehicle got eaten.

But my problem was soon solved by the adult dogs as I heard them twittering and harassing a hyaena that would have tucked it’s backside into a bush and was yeowling as the dogs tried to nip its backside. Thankfully they managed to harass it enough that it didn’t go back to my vehicle.
But later in the morning it did venture up close to the den and was sent packing by the adult dogs.
I didn’t see the pups again for the rest of the day.
At midday I left them to go repair a puncture and then spent some time at Manyuchi pan, which is close to the dog den. Later in the afternoon the 2 adult dogs arrived at the pan to drink and headed off west hunting.

I went back up to the den hoping to get some photographs of the pups but all I heard was them squabbling in the den. They never ventured out.
So my progress continues with the pups spending more time out the den! Long may it last!
