Wild dogs. Like many others I’ve seen these spotted dogs laying down being lazy in the local zoo, but seeing them hunting in the wild was absolutely incredible. To describe them briefly, they’re almost like a pack of hyper four-legged demons that terrorize the landscape in their pursuit of food and territorial dominance. <br /> <br /> Our guide B.B. had been trying to track the wild dogs down the whole time during our stay at Chitabe with no success. It wasn’t until 6PM in the afternoon one day that he got a call over his radio that they were spotted only a mile from camp. When we arrived at the field a large herd of wildebeests and zebras were holding their ground while the wild dogs signaled to each other with their characteristic high pitched “squeaks.” When the dogs weren’t circling around their prey, they’d be roughhousing with members of their pack in a playful manner. However, when it came time to try and lure a young wildebeest out from the wall of adults, their behavior was strictly business. We didn’t witness a kill, but the battle between the wildebeests and the dogs was absolutely incredible. Since our guide B.B. had been a guide for ten years, he’d seen his fair share of takedowns by the wild dogs and shared his stories during the low spots in the action. When the dogs are able to isolate their victim, one dog will hold the victim by the snout and multiple dogs will hold down their victim by the rear. While the victim is held down the rest of the pack will disembowel their victim providing plenty of food to the pack.</p> Fri, 26 Aug 2011 14:45:50 -0700 2010-11-22T23:37:27-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (country_boy_shane) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/6083431261 Dogs of War II <p>Enjoy my art?

When we arrived at the field a large herd of wildebeests and zebras were holding their ground while the wild dogs signaled to each other with their characteristic high pitched “squeaks.” When the dogs weren’t circling around their prey, they’d be roughhousing with members of their pack in a playful manner.

Wild dogs. Like many others I’ve seen these spotted dogs laying down being lazy in the local zoo, but seeing them hunting in the wild was absolutely incredible. To describe them briefly, they’re almost like a pack of hyper four-legged demons that terrorize the landscape in their pursuit of food and territorial dominance. <br /> <br /> Our guide B.B. had been trying to track the wild dogs down the whole time during our stay at Chitabe with no success. It wasn’t until 6PM in the afternoon one day that he got a call over his radio that they were spotted only a mile from camp. When we arrived at the field a large herd of wildebeests and zebras were holding their ground while the wild dogs signaled to each other with their characteristic high pitched “squeaks.” When the dogs weren’t circling around their prey, they’d be roughhousing with members of their pack in a playful manner. However, when it came time to try and lure a young wildebeest out from the wall of adults, their behavior was strictly business. We didn’t witness a kill, but the battle between the wildebeests and the dogs was absolutely incredible. Since our guide B.B. had been a guide for ten years, he’d seen his fair share of takedowns by the wild dogs and shared his stories during the low spots in the action. When the dogs are able to isolate their victim, one dog will hold the victim by the snout and multiple dogs will hold down their victim by the rear. While the victim is held down the rest of the pack will disembowel their victim providing plenty of food to the pack.</p> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 13:25:17 -0700 2010-11-22T12:26:36-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (country_boy_shane) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/5951992396 Snaggletooth Simpson <p>Enjoy my art?
