Our son's terrier and believe me it is real ratter.
What a character but like all terriers virtually uncontrollable but loveable.
Wild Dogs were on the top of our wish list during our visit to Africa in 2015. We were in this same area of Linyanti, Botswana in 2013 and saw a pack of Wild Dogs. But it was not this pack. The dogs we saw in 2013 were killed by this pack after they went into their territory. If only they knew how endangered they were! Understandably, it was tremendously upsetting for those people who saw it and I'm glad I wasn't one of them.
One thing we noticed was how much lower the water level became in those 2 years as there was a severe shortage of rain in many parts of Africa. The Channel stopped flowing in 1980 and started again in 2008 and there was concern that the cycle could be repeated again that it will stop flowing.
This pack wanted to cross the channel to hunt on the other side. But they were smart not to attempt it because they knew there were crocodiles in the water. We followed them as they hunted. It was near sunset when they split up to increase their chances of being successful. By that time it was too dark for pictures but we saw an amazing demonstration of how they work together. 2 dogs caught an Impala but they were threatened by a Hyena. There was no attempt by these 2 dogs to have it all to themselves. They called for the rest of the group and they all came together. By this time all we could hear was the yelping of the Hyena. He finally thought it was in his best interest to leave the kill to the dogs and he came back later to finish off the bones.
Wild Dogs are the most successful hunters with a success rate of nearly 80%. They hunt as a team and, if there are pups, usually one adult stays back with them as there are other predators in the area. When the lead dog got tired, he would drop back and another would take the lead. Unlike lions, who let their cubs feed last, if there is anything left, they let their pups eat first. When the puppies got hungry and demanded food during the day, any adult would regurgitate to feed them. And they didn't stop begging until they got more food. It is very important that the pups grow up to be strong as that increases the size of the pack and, therefore, their success at hunting. There were no puppies in this pack.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

While the masters observe the works of art, he has fun
Mientras los amos observan las obras de arte, él se divierte
Today while searching for cottonwool buds, I found loads of pieces of jewellery that I never wear! (yes I know!! "rolling eyes smiley"!)
This pewter brooch that I think I found in a charity shop, has 3 hounds entwined to make a pattern, and I wondered if anyone knew the significance of this? If there is one, of course.
ABCs & 123s: 3 stylised dogs.
Tenuous Link: almost entwined
Do not really know how those sticks smells….but when Lassie see them she turns into a crazy wolf!
She runs like crazy and she never gets tired of fetching them!
When there a stick it must be Lassie’s!
Maybe Candy can try to pick it up but then Lassie knows how to work the situation out: a little warning bite to Candy who let the stick fall down and it’s Lassie’s!
SOS she’s in disguise
SOS she’s in disguise
There’s a she wolf in disguise
Coming out
Coming out
Coming out
A domesticated girl that’s all you ask of me
Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy
The moon’s awake now with eyes wide open
My body is craving, so feed the hungry
