Rhulani Insights 205 – Wild dog tracks

Look behind the scenes of Rhulani Safari Lodge.

There is always something to see, discover and marvel at on a safari. This is also the case during the rest of the sundowner, where we find tracks of wild dogs on the road today with Ranger Dean. Let's take a look.

Dean tells us how he knows that these tracks were being made by wild dogs. You can see the marks of the claws on the tip of the toes, which is one of the typical characteristics.

I'm not following anybody's tracks, I'm making my own baby.

After a short educational chat, we will end this sundowner and look for the predators along the road.

Stay tuned fort the next episode on 13 August when a curious hornbill is watching through the window.
