The Wild Dog

One of the best days of our honeymoon for me was the day we visited the wild cat rescue sancturary at Mabalingwe. And although the wild dog may not be a cat (Obviously) there were
some rescue wild dogs that we got to say hi to and visit while they got fed their lunch.

Wild dogs are very social animals and live in packs. So very similar to domesticated dogs, being very social and needing company. However, please do not think about having a wild dog as a pet, they are called wild dogs for a very good reason, they are good and fast hunters, competing with lions. So no matter how cute they are, leave them in the wild! (But enjoy these photos I managed to capture)

I got this snap of this cheeky bugger sticking his tongue out at me!

I also love that just like giraffes spots, the wild dogs coat are 100% unique, like our finger prints. They also make the strangest noises, I could not imagine hearing their high pitched whines and growls in the pitch dark, it is bone-chilling. They also run incredibly fast and can keep a steady pace for a long period of time, which ends up making their prey exhausted.

I hope you all enjoyed my photos of these (not so friendly) doggos!
