Wilddog pack still doing well

The Wilddog pups are growing quickly and are doing well. Spotted today - 9 adults and 12 pups - the pack was playing around near one of the flood plains. The adults then left the pups to cross the water to go hunting. The guests were lucky enough to see the main pack chasing after a herd of impala - unsuccessfully this time.
