They were moving fast! There were 4-5 of them and the Jeep has hauling a$$ to keep up. They came back for a few minutes after that. My FIRST wild dog sighting!

Other than today, I found it to be very active week around the area - a beautiful pair of black rhinos yestersday, a herd of elephants (with two babies) the day before and lots of impala, wildebeest and monkeys. The dogs were fabulous. I have not been watching for very long but has anyone ever seen any lions or leopards in the area? It is so wonderful to see the sights and hear the sounds of Africa live! I am getting so excited about our trip in January.

Wild dogs! OH MY! I missed them! That'll teach me to do things like go to work!
Maybe they will be on one of the hi lite films they repeat. I hope so!

mcpats~ yes I have seen a leopard once and just recently quite of few lions. Africam has a forum where you can find tons of information~

Lilipets- don't you just hate it when work interferes with Africa! Here is the video of the wild dogs:

Oh no! Another great site! I will never get any work done now. Thanks for the info though. How did someone tape the wild dogs? Do we have access to the camera? (you can tell I'm a newbie)

Can't believe I missed 4 Male Lions today while at work (around 11am PT)!!! There is a video of them on the Africam forum.

Well since there was an ellie visit recently, that shadow is probably a wet spot from one of them
