AFRICAN WILD DOG PUPDATE
The 11 youngest African wild dog pups are now 7 months old! As of August 10, they were all weighing in between 46-59 lbs., and according to the Animal Care Team they’ve been enjoying daily swims in their pool. They are more outgoing than their 6 older siblings and spend their time playing tug of war, pulling out tufts of grass, and proudly prancing around the habitat.
The African wild dogs went especially wild over the recent carcass feeding. While carcass feeding might not be suitable viewing for all, these opportunities provide nutritional benefits, increase mental and physical activity, and encourage natural behaviors.
