right (thanks again , by the way)
but , what about the sightings boards then? should we lose them , too? in case a poacher wouldcome to consult them?
may I ask a silly question? are wild dogs also concerned by the poaching problem? (I know theyre endangered , but poached?)

Now thats a whole different thread.

Thanks for the reply........could you please tell me where the San parks request is on the site, I would like to see what other animals are mentioned? Is there anything in particular you think I should read? I would hate to post the wrong thing As for your post mentioning the wild dogs would it not have been better just not to mention the rhino? Do the sighting boards in the park only say were certain animals have been seen? This is all new to me...................
Thanks

Have a look at announcements right at the top of the forums Morgan, It specifically mentioned Rhino but also all other endangered species.

But then again, the den might have moved already. Looking at the sign around they have been there for a fair while and we saw them 3 days ago. And yes, I did mention the rhino, good excuse not to share the den's location.

Okay, no Rhino near them. They were on the move so probably not at the same spot today. I got the dogs yesterday on the H14 between Shikumbu and the turn off to the Ngwenyeni water hole.

Wicked sighting !!!

Where in the park was this ?

If you tried to make us jealous....YOU SUCCEEDED!!!!!!!

I really hate these video's.

Wow what a sighting!! Where was this???

Thanks for the video clips Mama fariu.

The one doggie seems to be having a bit of trouble with his tum unless its scent marking?

Hi everyone this was taken between on the road between Pretoriuskop and Skukuza. Enjoy

If you scroll down to the bottom of this post there is another short video

Well Done Mama Fairu - you managed to capture the forum's favorite wild dog in KNP.... Kamea

Named by Flutterby and Samoesawoestyn, you can read more about her here:

She is in all 3 videos - in both the first and second video she's the only one in the shot at 47 seconds and in the last video she's the one coming towards the others from the bottom of the screen and then leaves the other 3 again towards the left of the screen.

She can be recognised by the white "K" on her front left leg.

When was this taken Mama Fairu?

Went in at Malelane this week as a day visitor - the park is as green and lush as can be and the rivers are flowing - what pure joy!!!!

Wednesday afternoon had a pack of about 15 wild dog on Malelane / Croc bridge gravel road junction - they had been there all day apparently (caught an impala) - late afternoon they became active and were in the road, between the cars and put on a great display!! Leaving them to reach gate closing time, came up the hill towards Malelane gate and oh dear, a LIT right next to the road - One day when I can download my pics, will post some stunners of the dogs.

The bush is so thick now, you can virtually not even see ellie!
