The Maera pups

Category: Uncategorized | Date: Jul 08 2009 | By: zimbabwewilddogs

Hi guys,

I mentioned in another post a while ago that I was concerned about some of the Maera pack pups after a lion was caught on camera at their den site.  Today we had a good sighting of the dogs and confirmed that unfortunately there are only four puppies left – there were originally six.  Nonetheless, the four that remain are utterly adorable and are confident and curious little fellows:

We watched them being fed by one of the adult males.

And just for interests sake, I thought I’d share the following photo with you, from one of our camera traps.  The zebra passed right by the den – stayed there for about 20 minutes – but the dogs didn’t seem at all interested!

Back soon,Rosemary

Sad for the loss of the two puppies. The ones remaining are very, very cute. Thank you for the photos…zeb and all :>)
