110% Cute: Video

Yes! The wild dogs are still around. At sunset the adults were drinking at Manyuchi pan having come in from the north. So I’m presuming the pups are holed up somewhere to the north of the pan.

They're around
Tomorrow I’ll take to the skies again and see if I can locate them. AND the good news is, if they are denning to the north I should be able to get there by vehicle and so not have to hassle the dogs with me on foot.

Just giraffe
The hyaena den was pretty quiet today. Just the one mother was there suckling her 2 little ones in the morning and again they were there in the evening.

Still cute
At sunset mom headed off west and that’s when I left too and found the dogs at Manyuchi.
For the most part of the day I was out searching for the dogs and these 2 young white rhino bulls weren’t about to allow me a photo shoot.

Moving out
The baboons had made short work of the fruit of this baobab tree on Khayeni. These fruits have a hard thick shell and only the bigger baboons are able to bite them open to get to the tasty sour inside. Obviously much enjoyed by baboons judging by the way the empty shells litter the area.
