My hands were shaking so much when these…

… lost Painted Wild Dogs ventured into our camp
looking for their mates, that this was
the best photo I managed.
Their mates had been chasing a water-buck,
no more than 40 metres from our camp.
Apparently they hunt in pairs and in relay.
These two (there was a pair)
had arrived for the batten change
after the other runners had passed.
We had the thrill of seeing them so close.
