We had a great wild dog experience this afternoon! We waited, waited, waited for the Wild
Dogs to get active. Once they did, we followed them for quite awhile through the bush. They tried to go after some springbok but seemed very confused. Eventually, after a long time thrashing around in the bushes, a heard of springbok was pronging like crazy all over the place. The dogs had split up and at one point a couple of them took off . It was pretty dark by now and I had trouble seeing. But our ranger was chasing after them exclaiming his shock that the dogs were actually running, chasing a cheetah. Well, the cheetah had managed to get up a tree for a second, long enough to evade the dogs. Then jumped down and took off , well, like a cheetah. What had happened was, the cheetah had made a kill of a springboard, the dogs had come upon it. They chased the cheetah off. Then all dogs made a meal of the springbok in about 10 minutes.
