This month our wild dogs have again featured in Africa Geographic, this time in an item on their immensely popular blog. The post provides an update on news since their article complemented with images of the pack and pups on a waterbuck kill in September. The really exciting part though is in the comments that this blog has generated...

Limpopo-Lipadi shareholders will remember Mathebole - one of the male dogs we bonded with our rehabilitated females and released onto the reserve in 2010. After the arrival of the 6 males later that year and the take-over of the pack he, and his brother Lekoma, left the reserve with the surviving pup. Since then there have been sporadic reports of sightings from further east along the Tuli Block.

One commenter, from a reserve in the Tuli, has provided news that Mathebole is fit and well and roaming not just with two other adults (presumably Lekoma and the surviving pup - which was not related to either male) but a new litter of seven pups of their own! Reportedly they are all curious and in great condition which is fabulous news for the wild dog population in the Tuli area and in Africa as a whole - especially following the sad news from Northern Tuli and Tanzania recently. We can feel proud that the work started in 2008 is bearing fruit across the region and hopefully generating a meta-population that will be an important part of ensuring wild dog's survival.
