Wild dogs!!!

It has been a good few days of animal sightings. I finally saw the wild dogs! There is a pack of 9 that came to Ol Pejeta from the north about a year ago. I somehow missed them all last summer, but finally saw them today.

They looked like they had just eaten-- their bellies were very full and they were mostly just napping along the side of the road. Later they moved 100m or so over to the water tank and all curled up together in the shade of the tank.



African wild dogs are endangered and there numbers took a big dive in the 80s I think. But they are beginning to rebound in some places... which would be wonderful. I think they are really cool-looking.
