Wilddogs coming out of our ears!

Category: Mammals | Date: Jun 22 2009 | By: tumaren

30 Wilddog at Tumaren yesterday drinking water about our river camp!  I sent the pictures to the Laikipia Wilddog Project with two close ups of 2 of their collared animals.  Kayna from the LWP was able to confirm the identity of both dogs based on markings, one of which was the alpha male.  This particular pack also is one that typically spends more time north of here and it was informative for Kayna to know that they sometimes also frequent our area.  Now she says that when she cant get a signal during their tracking flights that they will remember to cover our area as well to see if they are in our neck of the woods.  Such incredible animals.

*jealousy seething from all pores*
Any good campsites for me and a couple of friends to stay at to come have a look sometime soon?
Probably the number one goal of 2009 for me: Find wild dogs!!
