More fighting broke out in the lower ranks, watched closely by a hooded vulture.





A lappet-face decided that he'd had enough and left the scene.



Leaving the white-backs to sort themselves out.







A lone marabou landed nerdy, but did not join in with the mob on the carcass.



"What's the plan now?" Asked J.

"Let's pop over to see the dogs." I replied. "They are probably up to something by now."

So off we went down the road to pay a visit to the wild dogs.

When we arrived, we realised that we had only just got there in the nick of time. The pack had just begun their pre-hunt rally and every pack member was involved, including the pups. There was a cacophony of yips, yelps and twittering from all the dogs as they readied themselves for the hunt. This behaviour is essential for pack cohesion and was a delight to observe.





"It would be great if we could follow them on their hunting foray." I mused…..

The doggies are able to bring themselves to a frenzy without limits Must be great to watch and hear

And now let's go hunting............

wow... like if we were there

[Alf]

So lucky to see the dogs doing some preparation for the hunt

You got quite a few crowds going there

Vultures on a carcass are interesting to watch, especially when you get the Chance to do so Close-up

But the doggies take the crown, I suppose

[Flutterby]

Chaos at the carcass, and more doggie chaos it seems! I wonder if you followed them on the hunt?
