When the moon hits the sky like a wafer thin slice of pizza pie then you know… it’s a new moon.
I’m all sing songy and full of energy, I’ve been doing the 3:30 am dance to get to the wild dogs before they start moving.
Funny thing is, I’ve enjoyed getting out there and doing something different.
A little variation in life can only be good. And it really was new moon… three days ago now.
Kim and I are putting a promo video together for the second wild dog film and I’ve been struggling to get on to the blog. I see the comments building up, thank you for all the responses.
Those dogs are a hoot, but they take us through the toughest terrain. This can only mean one thing for me - punctures!
I feel like I’m working in a tyre shop, anyway, it comes as part of the package I guess.
The dogs were thriving down in the South of the reserve, killing between three and six Impala a day.
They have even ventured out the fence to hunt a few extra impala on the hunting concession south west of Malilangwe -
little poachers they are.
Once the hunting was done for the morning and the dogs decide they’d tortured us enough through the mopane woodland, they then rested up at Chavagwisa Pan, this routine went on for a good week. This is the only water in this part of the reserve with the rains still holding out. The dogs take over the pan leaving the antelope snorting and grunting from the sidelines as they remain thirsty through the extra hot summer days. It’s a hard life near the bottom of the food chain.
Thankfully today the heat was squelched with a few light showers, but the dogs moved North and then across the Chiredzi River again, now the roads are too wet to get there. Let’s wait and see what happens, in the mean time I’ve been to checkup on the hyenas.
It’s so nice to see the dogs again
I think we’ve all missed them. Can you let us know how many of the latest generation are male and female and what their names are?
I’ve know I’ve definitely missed the dogs! They’re looking in great shape!
So wonderful to see the doggies. Seems only yesterday we were grieving for what appeared to be the last group killed off by rabies. Then the amazing meeting of the two that created this whole population. I hope you are able to keep up with the innoculations.
Who are the Alpha Male and Alpha Female now? It has been a while since I have seen Wildcast blogs but I know the former Alpha Male was killed. The pack sure has grown. Does the pack include the pups from the last Alpha pair?
Thanks,
Junebug
Wow, they look totally dangerous!! :S
Wild dogs are such amazing creatures. The comraderie and playful among them is fascinating considering what efficient hunters they are. Great to see such a big healthy pack!!
3-6 may seem like many, but with the size of the pack…it only speaks of their amazing hunting ability and teamwork.
YEA!! The dogs are back. Thanks Mark!
I remember I was able to take some pictures of wild animals from our safari adventure. We were pretty far from the animals I couldn’t tell what kind of dogs they were, but there agility and speed was really remarkable. I was trying to transfer the video to my computer but failed to. My computer has been having problems lately. The booting takes more time than the usual, a low disk space prompt keeps popping from the taskbar, and the applications can not be executed. I downloaded windows registry utility tool and was able to successfully transfer the videos to my hard drive. Why can’t technology be as fast and agile as the animals = (
