The dogs must have been hungry and taking advantage of the cool dawn, were on the hunt early. When I encountered them at first light, they had already killed a female impala right up in the north and the pups had just arrived when I got there.
Of course the carcass was theirs. But it wasn’t long and they were full and strangely moved off to let the adults feed. The pups never chased them off, but watched them feed in peace. Bored with nothing going on they left to find a place to rest.
With the adults well fed now too, the pack were off and hadn’t moved 200m when Puzzles spotted some impala and gave chase. Why girl when you’re so full? She didn’t catch anything and took the pups to rest up south at a Baobab they’ve now used several times to rest up in the shade of.
When I joined them again late in the afternoon they were all still chilling out and had no plans on moving.
The rest of my day was spent on the dam waiting for elephants that just weren’t coming. I later heard they’d moved a long way east to Nduna. Except for this big bull hanging around the dam on his own.
I love the shot of that bull among the tall grass. Pure power.
