Hi folks,
Just wanted to post a few pictures of our new wild dog pack. They are a very charismatic group, and very relaxed around vehicles which makes for wonderful viewing opportunities…
These photos were given to me by a guest who saw the dogs at a kudu kill
Such wondeful animals!

A new pack of African Wild Dogs

Hi folks,
I’m hugely excited that I can finally report some good news here, in between all this nightmare of snaring. We have a new pack of wild dogs! They showed up on one of the northern ranches in the conservancy last week and have been hanging around the area since then. It’s a pack of 8: 4 adults and 4 pups and the pups are still quite small - they must have been a late litter last year. I don’t recognise any of the dogs except 1 male (the Alpha male) whom I have a photograph of from the south of the conservancy taken this time last year. We have no idea where the others have come from, or where they have been up until recently.
I was fortunately able to collar the pack a couple of days ago, so we can keep an eye on them and try to make sure they don’t get caught in snares etc. I asked the owner of the ranch if he would like to choose a name for the pack, and he passed the honour on to his young son, so the pack now sports the name of the Teddy Pack, with members Baloo, Yogi, Paddington, Koala etc….!
I’ll post some pictures soon, but just wanted to report the good news!
