CarlaM, I read that the Wild Dogs were released TODAY. I am so greeeeen with envy that you might just see them. I've only seen Wild Dog twice, some twenty years ago in Tanzania. They made a kill (pretty gruesome) and we were fairly close.

Here is the link to the photos of the wild dogs that were just released at Mashatu:

You need to scroll down a tad to see them. The alpha male and one other male are collared but not the alpha female.

Trumpeting ellies, lots of juveniles, I hope the big ones keep those lions away from the babies.
