Sounds like Bob could get a job at Mala Mala, with his Eagle eyes!.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the pup being taken by a Tawny Eagle. We saw a few of these magnificent birds in Botswana.<br /><br />We did NOT see African Wild Dogs on this trip and it was strange that others dismissed it as 'not a big deal'. I suppose you have to 'see them' to appreciate them, don't you. Seeing endangered animals and birds ARE ALWAYS A BIG DEAL TO ME!<br /><br />I actually saw my first African Wild Dog in the Kruger about 11 years ago. A big coach was parked by the side of the road and all of it's passengers were up on their feet looking out. I wasn't expecting them to have seen much, considering the huge vehicle they were in-but next to the coach was a Wild Dog, posing beautiful on a small hill.<br /><br />I next saw Wild Dogs in Zambia, at the South Luangwa National Park. 3 of us were in a jeep when a huge pack, with pups were spotted in the distance. After a bit of gentle coaxing the guide drove us right up to them and we spent a happy half an hour watching them. I took SOOO many photos as they are so beautiful and interesting.<br /><br />And in 2010, with my nephew, in the Umfolozi Nat. Park, South Africa, a Wild Dog ran out in front of us, it's face covered in blood, and then chasing it was a Spotted Hyena. That was very exciting.<br /><br />I feel truly blessed to have seen the dogs. Memories to treasure.<br /><br />Sft xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545087114808861192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-34887973878538100372012-08-15T11:35:21.477-04:002012-08-15T11:35:21.477-04:00The Cape Hunting Dogs are Steve's favourite wi...The Cape Hunting Dogs are Steve's favourite wild animal, he's seen them in the wild but I've only ever seen them at Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre when we went to see the cheetahs.
