Australian dingoes are an ‘intermediary’ between wolves and domestic dog breeds

Australian dingoes are an ‘intermediary’ between wolves and domestic dog breeds

May 3, 2022April 30, 2022 Supertrooper 1 Comment

Scientists analyzed the genome of a desert dingo (Canis dingo) from a remote part of South Australia and compared it to the genomes of five domestic dog breeds (boxer, German shepherd dog, basenji, Great Dane, and Labrador retriever), as well as the genome of a Greenland wolf. Dogs are a highly successful model for informing […]

Klipspringers come under siege by a pack of wild dogs on cliff edge

Klipspringers come under siege by a pack of wild dogs on cliff edge

March 5, 2022February 26, 2022 Supertrooper 1 Comment

“The fact that wild dogs are not known to be climbers of any kind makes this sighting totally improbable,” MalaMala head guide Gareth van Rooyen told Latest Sightings.

Under cover of night, a pack of African wild dogs swarms around an impala carcass. Awake and hungry after a 27-hour transcontinental journey, this animated scene in Liwonde national park is a sign of “mission accomplished”: African wild dogs are back in Malawi. “The feeling is absolutely surreal and so emotional,” says Cole du Plessis, […]

The Last Giraffes on Earth

April 13, 2021November 28, 2021 Supertrooper 2 Comments

The giraffe is nearly down. Two men have stretched a thick black rope in front of the animal, to trip her up. The giraffe hits the rope, and the plan seems to be working until she gains a second wind and breaks into a fresh run. Her body sways backward and forward like a rocking […]

For the Amazon’s rarest short-eared dog, deforestation is a very real threat

For the Amazon’s rarest short-eared dog, deforestation is a very real threat

August 5, 2020August 5, 2020 Supertrooper 2 Comments

It’s a warm May morning in 2015, and beneath a chorus of birds and insects, a small gray-brown dog plops down in front of a camera perched in the Amazon rainforest.

The plight of the “Short-Ear.” A wild dog in trouble

June 25, 2020June 26, 2020 Larry Powell 3 Comments

Whether famous or obscure, Earth’s wild creatures cannot hide from the hand of man.
