Zimbabwe Wild Dogs

Hi folks,

As requested here is a picture of the newly collared ‘Racoon’.  And Sheryl - I’ll post pics of Mina soon.  I’ve had a camera trap up at the den for a week or so, and have lots of pictures of her and her 6 pups.

Racoon - young adult female in the Bedford Pack   

I also wanted to post this picture of the pups we saw yesterday - all 14 in a big pile!

Interestingly we also saw 2 very small pups in a new den for this pack.  Seems like at least one if not two of the subordinate females are breeding as well…  So it’ll be a pretty big pack soon: 13 or 14  adults, 14  big pups and an unknown quantity of other pups!  A whole bundle of dogs…

Anyway, I’ve only got a very limited time on the internet today, so I’ll write more in a day or two - so much has been going on here!

PS - By the way - please feel free to request anything specific you want to see photos of, or get information about.  I’ve got thousands of photos of all sorts of things, so when you get bored of looking at wild dogs (!), feel free to suggest what you’d like me to write about or post pictures on….
