And when on the move again the oxpeckers have to duck that constantly swaying tail. | 8/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 30 | VideoLioness not impressed | Chahwihwi was mating with another young lioness. She hardly looked impressed at his antics.

| 38 | VideoExcitement Supreme | The wild dogs rush around doing their afternoon greeting, but are more exciteable than usual.

| 41 | VideoNew hyaena den | The hyaenas moved den about a week ago. This is a new den we didn't know about and as can be seen by all the grass growing on it, it hasn't been used for some time.

| 54 | VideoPuzzles' last day | The wild dogs found themselves at the top end of Malilangwe dam where again the dogs were unsure of this large expanse of water. As usual the pups were curious but terrified. Puzzles in her over-loaded pregnant state didn't bother to venture down, using the bare minimum of energy only when she needed to. This is probably her last day of carrying that load of pups. | 6/28/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 58 | VideoWild dog etiquette | Chevy had himself the remains of the impala kill to chew on while the other dogs ran around playing. But they also couldn't resist just not pestering him, which they continued to do while he tried to feed. But as wild dog etiquette has it, you don't steal someone else's food. So Chevy was able to keep his meal but he had to take all the pestering that came his way. | 6/24/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

A young bull is keen to play the game but soon loses his nerve. As long as the buffalo are moving, whether away or towards the dogs, the game is on. Eventually after 2 1/2 hours the dogs lose interest in the game. | 6/16/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 66 | VideoKrazy mud kids | The little elephant calves couldn't believe their luck when mom arrived at the mud wallow. Even she was keen, but she didn't stay long.

| 67 | VideoSitting on the fence | The dreaded fence now finds the wild dogs on the other side, BUT Jiggy is on this side. AND the pack have successfully killed a waterbuck against the fence. The pack are keen to get to Jiggy but Jiggy is keen to get to the waterbuck. With the fence blocking their natural movement I cut a hole and drag the carcass through. The dogs are still reluctant to cross but slowly slowly they all make it back. | 6/14/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 68 | VideoStill waters run deep | This was the wild dogs first visit to Bandama pan, a large expanse of water.

The zebra panic briefly and then challenge the little blighters! For both parties it really is just a game and then it's back to chewing branches. | 6/11/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 78 | VideoSandy Death Trap | This impala made the fatal mistake of running across the sandy river bed to get away from the wild dog. It's small hooves sink deep into the sand but the dogs paws have a better surface area and it's not long the impala is caught. Jiggy feeds frantically before calling the rest of the pack and then it's a feeding frenzy. Minutes later there's nothing left. | 6/3/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Teaches you a lot!
I f you want to learn about animals, then this is something that you will want to look into.
Wolhuter is magic!
If you like National Geographic you'll love Kim! He's magic! Kim gets up close and personal with all the animals you wish you could be so close to. If you havent been to Africa, after watching this you'll want to be on the next plane, and if you have, you'll still want to be on the next plane back! Kim has got to be one of the best wildlife photograhpers and filmmakers of our time. He will not disapoint you here! He gets you so close to the action you feel like you could reach out and touch the wildlife, all this is done with the most respect to all animals and nature you would hope for, and than some! He is amazing!
would love to see other animals too
I have been enjoying this podcast, but would love to see more variety than just the wild African dogs for the majority of the podcasts. Certainly there is more abundant wildlife in this reserve that can be filmed and shared with the viewers.
