The return of African Painted Dog with his group causes a particularly enthusiastic "greeting ceremony" as the pack members gather nose to nose licking, giving excited twitters, whimpers, buzzes & noisy gurgles in joyful reunion!

Chunks of peat fly over the rocky hillside to land in the ocean inlet below.
In mere minutes, African Wild Dog digs down 19.5 inches, his claws gouging through ~600 years of peat deposition and hitting the rock below!!!
