Painted Wolf Alpha Maleby *LEkROm

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

A friend and I spent two afternoons photographing a pack of wild dogs all by ourself in a sandy riverbed in the Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe last week.

I will never forget the 2nd afternoon, when we leopard-crawled for over 40 meters to get within good shooting distance. Just before we had to leave, the Alpha Male got up and stalked towards us, growled a couple of times, took in our scent, and then lied down about 7 meters from us, relaxed again. An absolutely thrilling moment!! I was lying on my belly for this one.

I don't have any noteworthy images in my portfolio of this endangered species, and am so stoked to have come back from Mana Pools with a truckload of images from low angles like this, with an unobstructed view of the canines.
