African wild dogs are a highly endangered species, yet we see them fairly often in Northern Botswana. Despite their tenacious hunting, they are quite docile around humans. During a Lion darting trip a pack of over a dozen dogs curiously walked up to our team while we were eating dinner outside of the vehicles. They sat and watched before becoming bored and moving on for their hunt. @insidenatgeo #clawsconservancy #africanwilddog #painteddog #endangered #endangeredspeciesact #misunderstood

Call in the cubs! When Mom makes a kill, it’s a good time to teach the cubs how to feed! @insidenatgeo @lionrecovery @sacramentozoo @jumbo_junction_okavango_delta @naturalselectiontravel #clawsconservancy #prideinourprides #protectthepride #feedingtime #lion

Moriumang caught up with his 3 coalition mates! When together they are connected at the hip- sleeping in a pile and grooming like cubs. They are a formidable group! @insidenatgeo @lionrecovery @naturalselectiontravel @sacramentozoo #clawsconservancy #prideinourprides #protectthepride #lionking #lion #savelions @keoikantsesianga

Zikwerwa, “The Big Man”, is back from his jaunt to Namibia. He traversed some hostile farming areas and has seemed to be setting nicely in the Selinda region where guides sent us this shot. His movement patterns show us the best routes for lions dispersing north from the Okavango! He is alone and despite his size has not maintained a territory of his own. Competition with smaller but more numerous groups of males keeps him on edge.

A recent report by our colleague Dr. Louisa Richmond-Coggan estimated that there are over 11,000 leopards in Namibia. This work refined an original report done by our founder Dr. Andrew Stein in 2011. We need more country-wide studies to provide critical information about the status of these incredible cats! @insidenatgeo #clawsconservancy #leopardswithoutborders #leopard #namibia #etosha #leopardprint #africa #africanwildlife #perfectpredator #saveleopards
