Wild Dog Puppies Emerge From Den For The First Time

Pure wonder is how Morkel Erasmus describes the moment he and his wife witnessed some wild dog pups emerge from their den for the very first time.

Wild dog pups are born in dens. These dens provide safety for the pups, protecting them from the elements and predators. The litter will remain hidden in the den for up to three months before they join the pack, ready to learn skills that will make them valuable members of the pack. This breathtaking moment of the pups’ moment in the sunlight was witnessed by Morkel on safari at the Ngala Game Reserve.
