This is Old Man. Approximately 29-31 years old (which is pretty old for a horse, domestic or wild).
Wild horses in the Onaqui Mountain range of Utah near Dugway in October 2018. As of December 14, 2018 the Bureau of Land Management wants to take away nearly 80 percent of the horses on this range that would leave approximately one wild horse per every 2,000 acres.
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.
I spent a morning with the Braodfoot wild horse herd located near Eminence, Missouri. Mostly, they ate grass, but these two horses got into it at one point.
Wild turkey are ready to greet you at Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Now is a great time to get outside!

Wild horses in Sand Wash Basin, Colorado. Spring 2017.
"Since humans first huddled around campfires, stories have been told of wild horses with wind in their manes, fire in their eyes and freedom in their hearts. Those horses eluded capture, and scorned the comforts of civilization. Americans have insisted they want their wild horses to live that way, forever."
— Terri Farley
