Re: Flutts and the Brat go it alone
I've heard and read enough stories about snakes getting into engines, so I'm also very wary of getting too close!
The mongooses were very cute!

Re: Flutts and the Brat go it alone
13 June, Croc Bridge
We were still nervous that there may be a snake lurking somewhere in the car, but we were eager to get going on our afternoon drive. We checked the car as well as we could...the Brat got a fright when he saw something green in the passenger footwell but after shining a torch he saw it was cables!
We had heard that wild dogs had been seen on the S130 so we decided to go and look for them.... and found them!! There were only 3 but they were lying right next to the road.

Great sighting of the dogs
That small pack has been seen quite regularly around the northern side of the S130 recently

I'm surprised you didn't go see if you could find a toy snake in the shop and slip it under the Brats seat when he wasn't looking

Re: Flutts and the Brat go it alone
They are such crafty and clever-looking animals!
At one of our quizzes the question was "which carnivore is most successful at hunting" and it was them!

Re: Flutts and the Brat go it alone
Always great to find doggies! I think I would have given him a heart attack if I'd tried that!
Yep, apex predators!
The 80% success rate in wild dog hunts can be attributed mainly to the coordinated nature of the pack. Communication is key and the dogs constantly let one another know both their location and that of the prey. Their high intelligence and teamwork allows them to adapt to changing scenarios during a hunt.

Re: Flutts and the Brat go it alone
Love seeing the doggies .Good to see there are some moving around that side again .Wonder if they have split from the Malelane pack and starting a new Lower Sabie group
