2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

African Wild Dog, Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana, Africa
Dogs will be Dogs

Species: African Wild Dog | Location: Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana, Africa

With seemingly endless energy, Wild Dogs play as hard as they hunt. As the pack stopped to drink and rest at the river’s edge, these two put on a tremendous show, running, chasing, leaping and knocking each other to the ground before leaving with the rest of the pack to continue the hunt.

About The Photographer

I’m an amateur photographer who grew up with a passion for hunting. Later in life I have found that it was truly the hunt I loved but not necessarily the end result.

I have replaced my guns with cameras and now have found the end result I was looking for. Having the ability to participate in the hunt, capture the essence of the moment in an image and knowing the animal still lives, is what my soul was missing.
