I miss photographing animals and the people who help them, they inspire me so much. People like the caretakers at @olpejeta in Central Kenya who look after Fatu and Najin, the last two northern white rhinos left in the world.

While this borderline teenager began inspecting the surrounding cars. At one point refuge was sought from the shade underneath a vehicle in front.

African wild dogs differ from their domestic cousins in a number of interesting ways. Apart from their unique, patterned coats, long legs and large, rounded ears, they also have only four toes per foot. These unique adaptations allow them to hunt extremely effectively, using their big ears to keep track of pack members over long distances and their strong limbs to cover the ground between them and their prey at incredible speeds. #WildDogs #AfricanWildDogs #PaintedWolves #EndangeredSpecies #SingitaSabiSand #SabiSands #SouthAfrica #LuxurySafari #OurSingita #Singitagram #Singita_ #WildlifeConservation #SustainableTourism⠀ - @singita_ on Instagram

BETTER TOGETHER There is no way that we can protect the Greater Amboseli ecosystem without the generous support of our partners around the world, including private individuals and foundations, as well as our dedicated field and corporate partners. One such partner is @chesterzoo, based in the United Kingdom. Since 2002, back when Big Life was still known as the Maasailand Preservation Trust, they have made a steadfast commitment to help protect the critically endangered Eastern black rhinos that live in the Chyulu Hills in Big Life’s area of operation. Beyond their dedication to the rhinos, they’ve also been supporters of the Maasai Olympics from the very beginning in 2012, in which Maasai warriors compete for medals and prizes instead of killing lions. The Maasai Olympics has been a pivotal cultural shift for the community and for one of the only growing lion populations in all of Africa. Most recently, Chester Zoo has also provided technical support for our in-school conservation education programs in addition to reciprocal workshops and events between Big Life staff and Chester Zoo staff to improve our collaborative relationship. Their long-term commitment to the Greater Amboseli ecosystem is vital and their dedication continues to grow. We are thankful for this partnership that will help achieve measurable conservation results for us all. #conservation #zoo #partnership #wildlife #endangeredspecies #rhino #rhinos - @biglifeafrica on Instagram

Happy #CameraTrapTuesday! This week, we have a species that is not often seen due to their nocturnal nature - the aardvark or antbear. Aardvarks can eat up to 60,000 ants and termites during the course of a single night. While raiding ant and termite colonies, the aardvark can close its nostrils to keep the dust and the insects from getting into its snout. #Karingani #People #Wildlife #Conservation #Nature #Aardvark #WildlifeFacts #CameraTrap #WildlifeConservation #Mozambique #WildlifeMoments #ThisIsMozambique #WildPlanet - @karinganimozambique on Instagram
- Painted dogs are tactical hunters. They are well suited to cursorial pack hunting, with long legs and an athletic body. To take down large prey, the pack will tire it out, then surround it & use their agility overwhelm the prey while inflicting serious damage by snapping their long, powerful jaws.

The moral of the Story We are always told that no two days in the bush are ever the same, that the learning continues and with each hour you spend in the field, your knowledge and experience grows. This holds true for new guides who enter the industry with limited experience and very little first-hand exposure. Telling stories is difficult but as time goes on, your repertoire of personal encounters grows and your ability to convey these tales becomes second nature. A principal note that supersedes this message would come from experienced guides, those who have spent years and decades in the bush. They too add to their repertoire each time they step foot into nature and add a story to their journey. #mikesutherlandphoto #comeESCAPEwithus #wildgeography #photographer #natureismental #thisissouthafrica #southafrica #nature #safari #africa #iamnikonsa #inspiredbycuriosity #tswalu - @mikesutherlandphoto on Instagram

As investigations continue into elephant deaths in Botswana, ECF Director and Save the Elephants’ Head of Research, Chris Thouless, says it is wrong to assume the Botswana Government is dragging its feet. In an interview with Reuters, Thouless explains that mass elephants deaths on this scale are unprecedented and require a huge amount of sampling on carcasses located in remote parts of the country. ‘That is a pretty difficult task’, he said.

#Repost @londolozi • • • • • • At least three hyena clans inhabit Londolozi; one in the north, one central and one deep south. UNlike lions whose pride movements are far more random (or so it seems) hyenas - or at least the breeding females - are based out of a central den where they keep their cubs. Clans can actually have multiple dens at the same time. Although we dont have an accurate count, from simple observation the hyena population on Londolozi seems to be as high as its been in recent years. . . . #londolozi #wildlife #wildlifephotography #thelondolozieffect #safariphotography #southafrica #krugerpark #instagram_sa #wildestafrica #krugernationalpark #sabisands # #safari #africansafari #hyena #cub #predator - @iconicafrica on Instagram

FIRST OF ITS KIND! @unimelb and The Nature Conservancy, together with Martu indigenous rangers, have designed a new method to model the distribution of the greater bilby - to incorporate #indigenousknowledge into predictive species distribution maps. This sounds a bit nerdy, but Australia has some of the highest rates of mammal extinction anywhere in the world, and many of our threatened species—like the bilby—are found on indigenous land. Incorporating indigenous knowledge into monitoring is critical for the success of conservation efforts—yet it’s rarely taken into account with species distribution models.

Animals know. They can see kindness, and they seek it. Gary and Sara have had a few new arrivals to the sanctuary, some baby wombats and Amy the Cobargo Wee Wallaby. These cuties will receive a lot of love and care from them until they are sent out to other shelters. The wombats will go to an unaffected (by fire) shelter until they are a little older and will then return to Gary and Sara as this is his/her home. The mothers of these orphans will have taught their babies the layout of the land. Where to find the best feed and where to find water. They will not forget what their mothers taught them. Without a steady supply of water, keeping these darling bush babies long term is not feasible so Amy the wallaby is heading off to another carer shortly who has another wallaby the same age. This will offer company and comfort to the babies. Water is necessary for making bottles, washing pouches and basic linen items required to keep bush babies warm and clean. This is why a water tank is high on Gary and Saras priority list. A tank is still a little while off as they work through some challenges to get it delivered, but the wheels of progress are moving slowly. Send some love to these little babies ❤️ - @cobargowildlifesanctuary on Instagram

☆ No prisoners ☆ Some say nature is cruel, some say its unfair. I just say nature is perfect. Every day is a challenge, everyday is a struggle for life and death. So while Bambi might be on the TV screen, the reality is that battles in the African Savannah rage on. Are they always pretty to watch ? No. Are they sometimes gut wrenching ? Yes. Nature doesnt take favourites. Nature doesnt discriminate. It is just a perfect balance. Always. A Hyena, in this instance, lost the battle. Broken back legs, blood, mud. Its raw. It was the end for this Hyena. But the battle carries on. Tomorrow is another day. I am a professional wildlife photographer based in South Africa. I shoot nature in all its raw beauty.

Why Trophy Hunting Does NOT Help Conservation Advocates of trophy hunting love to call themselves conservationists and always make the claim the trophy hunting helps wildlife by bringing much needed funds to impoverished communities, distributing bush meat, and controlling wildlife populations. The claims are highly misleading, and also they are just bullshit. Sorry. If you love animals you don’t shoot them for sport. But let’s examine why it’s bullshit: 1. Wildlife populations up for trophy hunting are not in imbalance with the natural world, and the need to regulate them through culling or hunting is due to human encroachment on habitat 2. Trophy hunting is not a population management tool. We are talking about killing a small number of highly desirable animals, thus disrupting the population and gene pool. 3. Less than 5% of revenue from trophy hunts goes to local communities on average. The vast majority of their income goes to government agencies, outfitters and individuals located in national capitals and overseas. See slide 3. 4. Trophy hunting has been in practice for decades, with conservation claims dating as far back as the 1920’s. (The only exception of Kenya which outright banned trophy hunting in 1977.) If trophy hunting has already been helping conservation for decades, why are wildlife populations still plummeting? Lion trophy hunting is hardly new, and yet with all of these hunts “helping” lion conservation, wild lion populations steadily decline. In fact, The International Union for Conservation of Nature, which monitors animal populations, reports that the number of lions in five populations in Tanzania fell by two-thirds from 1993 to 2014. Swipe through for more facts on why the narrative that trophy hunting helps conservation is bullshit. Triggered trophy hunters incoming in 3, 2, 1….

Lion Vs Giraffe 2 days ago! We were heading towards the S114 on the S118 2 days ago and decided to stop and scan at James’ Pan. We found two lionesses lying in the shade just behind the pan. Then, throughout the day, 2 giraffes came and drank. One had it’s back towards us, facing the lionesses. The other one, a younger female, went to the other side of the dam to start drinking. As soon as the young giraffe bent down, the lionesses stormed in for the chase. There was no warning, but luckily we knew this was going to happen. The one lioness jumped on her and then fell off. They all ran across the road and into the bush. After waiting a bit, we saw the giraffes again, unharmed. What a good one!

☆ Cuteness ☆ Two African Wild Dog puppies enjoy some playtime at their den. To see African Wild Dogs in the wild is always a privilege - to photograph them at their den site is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Unfortunately African Wild Dogs need very large home ranges, and also need to eat on a daily basis - this does mean that most reserves simply cant ( or wont) accommodate them. As Africas 2nd most endangered carnivore, we need to do everything in our power to save them. So next time that you are on Safari, please, look at them in a new way - they are absolutely incredible animals and Africa would simply not be the same without them! Would love your thoughts ?

The Matimba male Hairy Belly & Othawa pride by @cal_butler The elephants chased the three buffaloes towards the pride of lions , the pride gets up and tries his luck, at this time the old Matimba watches everything and decides to take complete control of the operation. It was only at this point that the Matimba male lion realised that his nap had been interrupted. He got up to see what all the fuss was about. It was a little comical to see him just standing there, taking in the whole spectacle. With clearly no end in sight, the Matimba decided to step in and show who is really boss. There was an initial scuffle and the Matimba managed to grab hold of the buffalo’s back. The buffalo thrashed around wildly, like a scene out of a rodeo show gone wrong. The buffalo managed to break free and dashed towards the dam wall. The pride of lions followed in hot pursuit. By this time the elephant and the other two buffalo had fled the scene. The lions were able to catch up to the buffalo quickly. This time around, the entire pride jumped in and every member had a role to play. One of the Othawa females managed to grab the buffalo by the mouth and tried to suffocate it. The Matimba male jumped onto the back, trying to break the spine, while the older of the young Othawa males tried to pin the buffalo down from behind. The youngest of the Othawa lions started to dig into the hind legs. It seems that they had finally managed to get a good grip on their prey. The buffalo gave all it had and managed to fling off the female in the front. He managed to get the tip of his horn into the female, but not causing any major injury. This was the first time that I had seen the Matimba make any effort or attempt at using his strength and power as a male lion. I had instantly gained new respect for the old male lion. He was not going to give up his hard earned meal. After a great deal of struggle, the lions managed to successfully take down the buffalo. They spent the next three days feasting along the water’s edge. This ordeal provided a great learning curve for the young Othawa lions and the Matimba male held onto his legacy as a power not to be trifled with. - @lionsightings on Instagram

A regular photographic client, Elizabeth Hart has had some incredible sightings at Mashatu - She shared this photo and the story around getting it with us We found the cheetah mother and her 5 cubs feeding on an impala in the early hours of the morning drive. Having eaten their fill and being pestered by the two Black-backed Jackals, the cheetah family moved off. About a kilometer away from the kill, the cheetah startled some impala rams, who fled. Without missing a beat, the mother cheetah took off after the impala and luckily for us, she chased the impala into the open. Our shutters clicked away furiously and we managed to capture the full chase sequence. This is the beauty of Mashatu, the vast open arid spaces, perfect for wildlife photography.

Leopards can be tricky to spot! With incredibly effective camouflage and a preference for hunting at night, leopards are usually the most difficult of safari animals to see in the wild. One of our favourite places to spot leopard has to be in the South Luangwa in the east of Zambia. This national park combines pristine dense habitat with reliable water sources to make the perfect balance for a remote wildlife hotspot. It’s also known as the Valley of the Leopard – an appropriate reference to its large concentration of elusive, spotted big cats. Although we can never guarantee a specific wildlife sighting, we’ve yet to have an experience beaten by the South Luangwa when it comes to sighting leopard. It is believed that there’s one leopard for every two square kilometres, so if you head out on a night drive – luckily camps in the South Luangwa offer game drives after dark – you are bound to come across evidence that you are indeed in leopard country. #leopard #leopards #bigcats #bigfive #cats #southluangwa #zambia #wildlife #wildlifespotting #gamedrives #yellowzebrasafaris #elusivewildlife #safari #africa #africasafari - @yellowzebrasafaris on Instagram

For many mammal species, protected areas are their last hope, says a new study co-authored by @TheWCS. This includes African wild dogs, which have suffered an 89% range loss in the last 50 years. Today, 71.6% of it is protected. . “There is little doubt that without protected areas we would have lost amazing species like tigers and mountain gorillas, said the paper’s senior author, James Watson from WCS and the University of Queensland. This science clearly shows that to abate the extinction crisis, we need better funded and more protected areas that are well-supported and well-managed by governments and other land managers.” .

And what a game drive they had! All of the usual characters were in attendance- including one of our resident prides of lions, who were enjoying a buffalo carcass. It is key to get community members to understand the value of conservation and preservation of wilderness areas - and with many of them never having seen lions before, let alone this close, it certainly made its point.

The scientific name of the African #wilddog is lycaon pictus, a latin term meaning #paintedwolf. Similar to other great #African #animals with distinct coat patterns, no two wild dogs have the same spotted patterns - these are unique to individual wild dogs and help members within the pack distinguish between one another. The beautiful colours of their coat (black, brown, yellow and white) also helps wild dogs blend in to their natural habitat of grassland, savannah and woodland. Unlike their domestic counterparts, wild dogs only have four toes per forefoot. In addition, a wild dogs large, round ears allow them to keep track of pack members over long distances through audio signals. African wild dogs are most active during twilight - the period immediately before dawn and after dusk - making them #crepuscular. Twilight is a key time for wild dogs because their prey is the most active during this period and the cover of night gives wild dogs a hunting and #camouflage advantage, making them more difficult to be detected by both #predators and prey. #learnaboutwildlife #SAASAvisit #Jukani #wildlifesanctuary #plettenbergbay #thecrags #gardenroute #southafrica #plett #westerncape #jukaniwildlifesanctuary - @saasa_jukani on Instagram

We discovered the clan in 2018 and we have started to collect data on them since. A couple of weeks ago I followed Florence and Fierce on a spectacular hunt! Early in evening they encountered a small herd of wildebeest not far from the communal den. They tested the herd and managed to separate one cow.

Did you know there are only roughly 5000 African wild dogs left in the world? They are very susceptible to disease and often the whole pack will die in one go. They are so endangered mostly due to these infectious diseases, ongoing habitat fragmentation, and conflict with human activities. I love spending time with these animals and watching them hunt. They are incredible mammals, and very successful predators as they hunt in packs. #wilddogs #africanwilddog #painteddogsofafrica - @jamessuter on Instagram

This rustic Luwi Bush Camp stands in a small grove of mahogany trees and has great views over a floodplain to the Luwi riverbed beyond. Although the camp is away from the main Luangwa River, there are two permanent lagoons here, each with an impressive population of hippo and crocodile. This camp houses only 5 chalets which means that individual attention is tailored for each guests’ experience. Each chalet is en-suite. The main area of the camp is comprised of a thatched roof and sandy floor, housing the bar and library. Other communal areas can be found dotted around under trees in the shade. Dinner can be had on the plain or even in the river bed, lunch is served usually underneath a shady spot during the day. - @zamag_tours_and_safaris on Instagram

Following a report of a painted dogs den sighting in Sinamatela, our trackers Washington Moyo and Lephius Muyuni went to check it out. Behold, its the Lukodet pack and Didi, the alpha female, is denning! The pack has been off the radar for a while and tracking inside the park hasn’t been as frequent due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. We suspect this is probably the packs second den or so. Painted dogs normally move their pups to a new den site a few times during the denning period to avoid detection by other predators in the area that could pose a threat to the pack and the pups. Another reason is to avoid or reduce parasite infestations. The pups will stay at a den until they are about 4 months old. This is when they are big and strong enough to move with the pack. Unfortunately, the team did not catch a glimpse of the pups or get closer to the den as they were avoiding disturbing the site. Didi and other pack members were also jealously guarding the site against all sides. Last year Didi had a litter of 11 pups and 13 pups in 2018, though not all survived in both litters. We are happy the pack is well and growing even bigger and stronger. The last time we saw the Lukodet they were 16 strong. Keep checking our page for more updates. #lukodetpack #didi #savethepainteddog #sinamatela #pdc #wildlife #conservation #forwildliferangers Photo Credit📸: Washington Moyo - @painted_dog_conservation on Instagram

Do you agree with @lionwhisperersa on how we should protect lions throughout Africa? 🌍🦁 Let us know in the comments below 👇 Full story in bio 🙌 Kevin: My honest belief is that we need to adopt a South African model, and that’s going to send a lot of people into orbit because they’re going to go ‘oh it’s not natural or how it’s meant to be’. But I’m going to go, yes - but it’s not natural that we have 8 billion people on the planet. So, we need to do the best we can to preserve these areas. You know I cringed at the thought of fencing the Serengeti and the Masai Mara. But if I had to say to you that might be the only way that we are going to be able to protect these animals, and quite frankly if you look at other countries around the world, that’s what they’ve done, that’s what they had to do you know?” 🦁 - @conservation_conversation on Instagram

“People are definitely having to push the boundaries in terms of seeking out unusual subjects or trying new techniques to get images that haven’t been seen before, because all the low-hanging fruit has been done a long time ago. People are looking for either technological advances to do new things, or more obscure species and going to more rare places to photograph things that will capture peoples attention.” Listen to our podcast with wildlife photographer and @newbig5project supporter Will Burrard-Lucas (@willbl) in the Podcasts section of the New Big 5 website.

The Musekwe Pack pups of 2019 are all grown up! A miraculous feat considering the alpha male and father to these pups was killed by lions last year defending the den. Losing an alpha male from the pack when the pups are so young significantly reduces their chances of survival but incredibly the alpha female and her subadult offspring (born 2018) stayed united and raised a successful litter. The Musekwe Pack lives in our core research area in Kafue, an area that used to experience heavy snaring with numerous wild dogs losing life and limb to snares. Two years ago, ZCP began targeted snare sweeps working with DNPW-Panthera Antipoaching units (@pantheracats), creating a “halo” of protection around the pack’s core area and denning locations. Since then, we have seen ZERO snared wild dogs, not just for Musekwe Pack, but for all the packs that we monitor in Kafue! There are a multitude of natural and human induced threats that wild dogs are facing, but we are proud to report that our collaborative halo approach is working and its giving wild dog populations the best chance of survival in the Kafue National Park. Please consider supporting our anti-snaring efforts as part of our Wild Dog fundraiser (Link in Bio) so ZCP-DNPW and our partners can continue to keep wild dogs safe in Zambia. 📸 @b_goodheart (Ben Goodheart, ZCP Graduate Student) #zcp_org #zcp_zambia #zambiancarnivoreprogramme #wildlife #conservation #wildlifeconservation #nature #natureconservation #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #conservationinaction #conservationresearch #research #wilddogs #paintedwolf #paintedwolves #wilddog #dog #dogsofinstagram #kafue #kafuenationalpark #antipoaching #desnaring #vet #veterinary #zambia #africa - @zcp_zambia on Instagram

Photo of the day: Near Genoa, I sat one day for nearly 20 full minutes watching these deer play. I bet if there were antelope there, they woulda been playing, too. :) They were so joyful, having a blast chasing each other and leaping high in the air, twisting and kicking.

‘Long in the tooth’ : Striped hyena. #DidYouKnow : About a decades ago striped hyenas were commonly sighted in the wild. Today, it’s numbers are decreasing. One of the top predators that compete with the other species in the unforgiving landscapes of India are staring at an uncertain future. Their biggest threat? ‘Humans’. I believe that the key to nature & wildlife conservation is the wholehearted support of locals. A strong initiative must be taken.

- Hyenas are more closely related to civets and mongooses than dogs. They have complex vocalizations they use to greet, warn, hunt and even as cubs they can distinguish which are kin or clanmates or outsiders from hearing them.
Confidence and Curiosity ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was one of my favorite hyena sightings I’ve had. It was my first time seeing a hyena cub that hadn’t yet developed its spots! • When we arrived this little one was tucked away, suckling from mom and I didn’t have much hope that I’d be able to get a good shot. • But, after waiting patiently this little one really put on a show for us! 🐾 🐾 🐾 #hyena#hyenasofinstagram#djuma#africa#southafrica#nature#greaterkruger#safari#africansafari#bestwildlife#wildlifeperfection#closeencounter#wildlifephotography#travel#travelphotography#canon#closeup#sabisands#naturelovers#animalphotography#animalovers#wildlifeonearth#travel#krugerthroughmyeyes#krugerthroughmylense#africananimals#africanature#animalconservation - @capture_africa_ on Instagram
- Painted wolves populations in the Okavango Delta have been observed rallying before they set out to hunt. Not every rally results in a departure, but departure becomes more likely when more dogs sneeze. When members of dominant mating pairs sneeze first, the group is much more likely to depart.

- Not technically a pupper, but still a good boi
- Spotted hyena cubs are born all black but gradually shed this lanugo, starting with the head and then spreading down the neck towards the back of their bodies. The rate at which the lanugo is shed can be an accurate way of aging cubs.

An interesting update from our trackers in Mana Pools. The Nyamepi pack is well and has been doing a great job protecting its 6 pups. Whisky, the alpha female, left the den with the pups on the 26th August and have been nomadic since. She sadly lost one pup to hyenas a day after she became nomadic but the pack has managed to keep their enemies at bay since. They are doing so well compared to last year, where the pack lost 3 pups within 3 days of leaving the den. Fingers crossed, the pack will successfully raise all 6 to adulthood. Currently, the pack consists of 8 adults, one yearling, Candy (a product of father and daughter), and 6 pups that are a product of brother Gamma, the alpha-male, and sister, Whisky. Both are from the same litter of 2017 by the legendary Black-tip. The pack represents the first accurately recorded case of brothers and sisters inbreeding in Mana Pools and, as odd as they may seem, they are slowly rising to prominence in the area. #nyamepipack #mondaymotivation #whisky #gamma #manapools #pdc #savethepainteddog #wildlife #conservation #forwildliferangers Photo Credit: Thomas Mutonhori - @painted_dog_conservation on Instagram
- Although hyenas may look like canines to many, they are actually classified in their own family that isn’t canid or felid, called Hyaenidae. However, being members of Feliformia, they are more closely related to cats than dogs. Instead of a pup, the young hyena pictured here is called a cub.

spotted hyenas have a bad reputation but these apex predators deserve much more respect than we often give them. Hyenas are critical to controlling prey populations and preventing the spread of disease by consuming entire carcasses. They are also one of the most socially complex carnivores on the planet, forming tightly knit clans that are often led by female Alphas and can number over 100 individuals if the conditions are right.
