    I have seen the pack in Pilanesberg on a number of occasions. Captured this one early morning just after entering the Park when I came upon them whilst they were hunting.

    Good habitat image Gerrie, they don't call them the painted dog for nothing, looks like this one had both feet inside a large paint tin!

    Really like how the colors of the surrounding habitat match the subject. Nice pose as well.

    What a lucky shot, Gerrie. I have yet to see the Pilanesberg wild dogs. I like the dog in his environment in the soft morning light; you have nice side-lighting there. Now you just need to train these guys like you have the king fishers trained:)
