To Collar the Wild Dogs

Sometimes we suspect that animals in the Reserve have a sixth sense for the visits of our veterinarian dr Erik Verreynne. Whether it’s the lions, rhino, elephants or on this occasion the wild dogs, they make themselves scarce. There have been visits that dr Erik had to leave the Reserve without accomplishing his mission – luckily there have been more instances that he succeeded to complete them… Last month he came to Limpopo-Lipadi to collar one of the wild dogs. Here is his story: “The small perks of searching for wild dogs to collar at Limpopo-Lipadi … is of course eventually finding them. The first day we searched the whole day for them around the Northern Plains with no luck. Continued the next morning and found them very relaxed near Max Pan where I darted one of the 3-year-old males and put a satellite collar on. And as a bonus we had a brown hyena taking a morning drink at the pan.” If you would like to support our conservation efforts, have a look on our website: https://limpopo-lipadi.org/donate/.
