Gaylen Morgan commented on Craig Jackson's blog post What has happened to the Tuli wild dogs?"Thank you for this wonderful news! It's fascinating and so hopeful. What is the optimal size for a pack?

Gaylen Morgan commented on Dewald van Wyk's blog post Wild Dog update November 2010"That's exciting. I too am wondering what happened to all of the other dogs? I am assuming no one knows. There were so many in 2008 when I visited there. I know they wander far and split up. Any idea how many are likely to be surviving?"

- I understand from Andrei that the wild dogs were seen on Tuli Lodge property, but two of the dogs had snares. He managed to dart one of the dogs and was going to try and dart the second dog the following day. Normally the deep cuts from a snare wound heal relatively well and sometimes on their own once the snare is removed. It turned out that in this case the dog's trachea was severed. Apparently Andrei did what he could and called the Botswana vet who normally helps in these situations. He recommended giving the dog some time to see how he does. Surprising the dog looked in good condition which Andrei attributes to the benefits of a pack living animal. He will be posting an update on the dogs and this story in more detail shortly.
