Runnin’ with the Pack, or maybe not. This very young African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus) has been so well fed by his super attentive fellow pack members, that he can hardly even walk right now. Okavango Delta, Botswana
Cats’ Walk in Tadoba National Park
During one of our safaris at the Tadoba Nationa Park, the noise level was slowly getting to us, thanks to the restless tourists in the many jeeps wanting to get a closer look at Choti Tara (Tigress) and her cubs. Given that we were the first jeep, we kept the right distance from the resting […]
