Dholes[wild dogs] play and defecate marking territory. Vasant explains the concept of ‘alpha male’ among them!!! hehe - Bandipur National Park is located in the Chamarajanagar district of southern Karnataka in South India, and is contiguous with the Mudumalai National Park in the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu, the Wynad Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala, and the Nagarhole National Park to the northwest. These fellows run in packs and look like a cross between alsatians and wolves. Happy world environment day - June 5, 2009

The wild dogs had been on the move for 3 hours this morning when they arrived at the airstrip with it’s many impala. The chase was on and when I caught up with the dogs they’d already killed an adult male impala. I was soon out the vehicle moving around them filming them on the kill, up close and personal. At less than 10m away they were quite happy to have me around!
The wild dogs are back and made 3 kills this morning. Great to see the whole pack of 21 all there and doing well.

The wild dogs were chilling out in the afternoon, but as the sun was setting they headed out on the hunt. And another successful one it was. 
Wild dogs have learnt that if they chase impala onto the boundary fence they have a much better chance of catching them and this evening they caught 2 male impala right next to each other on the fenceline.
