Wild Dog Puppy Mouse Pad

Close-up of African wild dog puppy. We saw six African Wild Dog puppies at their den when they were only six weeks old. Two adult dogs were left to babysit while the rest of the pack was away. These youngsters had a wonderful time tumbling all over each other, biting, pouncing, eating sticks and leaves, and generally doing whatever looked fun. The wild dog is one of Africa’s most endangered carnivores, so it was wonderful to see this pack with six babies thriving. This puppy with his bright eyes was very curious and came right up to smell the tires of our vehicle, after which he was reprimanded by one of the adults for getting a bit too close.
