Waiting Their Turn
These four African wild dog pups were left at the edge of the marsh as the pack went on the hunt after some red lechwe. After playing for a bit the pups settled down to rest, then the red lechwe came by and the pups perked up and started looking and watching the antelope. They were still too small and inexperienced to go after the lechwe, so they stayed put waiting for the pack to come back.
