Zimbabwe Wild Dogs

Hi folks,

Just a very quick post to show you some pictures of African wild dog puppies at play.  These are pups from the first litter of the Bedford Pack; just over 3 months old when these photos were taken.  Sadly one of the litter disappeaered a few months ago, but the remaining 11 are still doing well.

Hi folks,

While we’ve been busy trying to remove snares from wild dogs, our camera traps have been working hard and recording some very cool puppy sightings.  So just for a break from dead puppies and snared dogs (!) I thought I’d post some cute puppy pics from our camera traps. 

Sadly due to being so caught up with other things, I’ve had very little time to sit at the dens and watch the pups.  At least we are recording their numbers an movements via these camera traps though!

Back soon,

Rosemary

Hi folks,

Sorry we have been quiet recently.  Both Rafael and I have been out in the field from sun-up to sun-down doing our best to remove snares from dogs.  Unfortunately we havent yet been successful - the affected dogs are very skittish and wary and we simnply cant get close to them - but we will keep trying.

On a more positive note, the dogs we have de-snared recently are doing well, and aside from the litter of pups that was killed by lions, the pups are generally doing well as well.  Many of them are now getting to the really cute age where they are curious and inquisitive and come up to the car to check you out - cute photos coming soon I promise!

Hopefully we’ll have some good news to report on the de-snaring in the next few days too, but if it’s quiet on the blog, you’ll now know why!

Back soon,

Rosemary
