2 small kills were really just snacks for the wild dogs yesterday. And today they were just left to eat millipedes as they disappeared into the dark without killing.
At least Puzzles was off her mission and the pack was now being led by Jiggy. He took them west but soon pulled up short. There was something up ahead that concerned him. He turned and took the pack south and then continued west towards Khayeni. But again just before arriving there, the whole pack pulled up short. And this time they did a U-turn and headed back east.
The only thing that would make them turn like that would be lion, but I didn’t get the chance to investigate as I now battled to keep up with the pack heading east at pace.
They eventually rested up not far west of their initial den site near Manyuchi.
The afternoon saw the weather change as storm clouds came rolling in from the east. And then it started raining. As those first drops started falling the dogs took cover under any little bush they could find. They really don’t like the rain. And when it really pours they get restless wanting to move to find better shelter but soon realise the spot they’re in is better than the option of venturing out into the full blast of the rain.
Today the rain didn’t last and before sunset the sun was out when Puzzles led the pack off hunting south along the foothills. It’s rough country out there and there’s not much prey, leaving the pack going hungry for the day.
