Dogs on alert

On a game drive from Tena Tena bush camp we found these two wild dogs. Probably separated from the rest of the pack we watched them hunting together.

After losing sight of them we carried on with our drive only to see one of them chasing a Puku. To see a dog hunting at full speed is heart stopping.

Wild dog have an 80% success rate with hunts - here though the Puku took it's chances by leaping into a lagoon, preferring the chance a croc might be waiting to the certainty of the dog. A throw of the dice that this time paid off.
