[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Some very young Painted Dog (African Wild Dog) puppies emerge from their den at Ngala Private Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger Park area[/font][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]. This was last year, and apparently the pack is denning on the reserve again! To read the whole story, and see more photos, check out my blog post: [/font][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]http://bit.ly/DogDen[/font]

Just a fantastic moment to witness and capture here mate, with such young pups, the first time out of the den I believe ;)

A worthy EP

Great shot of these scruffy little ones.
You can sense their individual personalities.
