In my last days in Skukuza we were sitting in a riverbed at "10-Minutes", a place where staff of the Kruger Park is able to hang out and even swim when the river carries water. A pack of Wild Dogs, about 12 whereby most of them were cubs and only 2 or 3 adults appeared out of the nowhere. Wild dogs are not doing very well in southern Africa and are endangered to extinction. This siting was one of my most exciting ones, especially while sitting there enjoying a few beers. It was only the second time that I had seen Wild Dogs and they came as close as about 20 meters. Absolutely unforgeable.
The cubs in this picture were keeping a safe distance while the adults came closer to us to check if we are a threat to their offspring.
These Pictures were taken by Jirka (picture above), who had come to Skukuza to give a week's course about the HYDRUS-Model which I'm using for my thesis. Thanks a lot for the pictures!
