So i'm spending a while at GVI going on drives and doing work at the camp. Took the volunteers on a drive yesterday afternoon and went out looking for the Wild Dogs and were we spoilt.
We found the Dogs lying in the middle of the road at the one small pan where they were drinking.
After they had finished drinking they started moving with the adult females who started running around and leaving the pups to start hunting.
The pups found a lot to do in the time they were waiting.
They were playing with each other a lot right in front of the bakkie and found a tree which interested them a lot because they were all jumping up against the tree to smell something which was left there by an animal rubbing itself against the tree.
This is where they were selling at the tree, they were incredible interested.
After all the playing and sniffing the pups headed out into the bush to go looking for their mother. They were left once again under a tree but got very excited when a rabbit jumped out the bush and they started chasing it and the one got close but didn't get it in the end Their mother son returned afterwards and regeritated some food for them to nibble on then took them to the kill. We sat with them for about 40min before deciding to leave them be. We had a breeding herd of Buffalo close by to the kill with extremely small calves, they were a little bit anxious to what was going on and dissapeared into the bush soon after. Great drive all in all and hopefully still more to come.
Till next time
