Africa's wild dog
Wild dogs were once widely distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Today, viable populations may exist in only a handful of countries. Habitat loss and human persecution are the main causes of decline. Wild dogs fall victim to snaring, shooting, and speeding vehicles on roadways.
The elusive leopard
Leopards are masters of stealth and extremely difficult to trace and locate in the wild.
Thirsty work!
Having a long neck is great for feeding where no others can but makes drinking slightly tricky!
Two warthogs stop for a drink
They are the only pigs able to live in areas without water for several months of the year. By tolerating a higher than normal body temperature, the warthog is able to conserve moisture inside its body that might otherwise be used for cooling. When water is available warthogs drink regularly and enjoy wallowing in muddy places.
Thirsty elephant
Elephants don't drink with their trunks, but use them as "tools" to drink with. This is accomplished by filling the trunk with water and then using it as a hose to pour it into the elephant's mouth.
Porcupine Tracks
On the wildlife tracking course students use their new tracking skills to locate wild animals in the bush
