      On our last ODP safari to Elephant plains we had one of the best sightings of the year.
      A pack of 22 Wilddogs ran up to a waterhole for a drink. There they encountered a herd of big male Buffalos drinking.
      The Wilddogs totally unperturbed started stalking one or two of the Buffalos. The brave dogs encircled them and started playfully nipping at them.
      The enraged Buffalo's chased the dogs around just trying to get hold of one of them.
      The interaction was intense and the photography even better...!
      A great day at the office...



      PS: Edited on my new machine that has not been calibrated as yet - the colours might be a little off. Should be fixed by this afternoon.

      Amazing interaction, frontal view of the beast makes this 1 a winner!
      The determination seen in the Buff adds to a great story!


      Super Shot Wim!
