So you say it's dusty...
You know I tell a lot of people that it's dusty where we study striped hyenas in Shompole, Kenya but really... no one gets it. People say, "oh yeah I saw a dust devil on the road once, it was huge." I just sigh, there's really no pressing the issue without visual evidence. So without further ado:
Bucket and Monster will no doubt reproduce some day soon leading to some sort of two-headed monster dog with the intelligence of a goldfish, but alas... these things happen.
Great video, Joey. Really captures Shompole :)
ReplyDeleteDoes all turn to mud when it starts to rain?
ReplyDeleteYou bet. Look for my follow up story: "So you say it's muddy..."
ReplyDeleteHey Joey,
ReplyDeleteLove the video...especially with that tune. Now you need to add some sort of 40 degree C factor to the dust images.

Hey,
ReplyDeleteI have a couple videos of the puppies...tiny little guys stirring up a ton of dust...
How ARE the puppies?
How are the stripes?

Pups are good. Stripes are good too.

They do well, however, chase baboons everyday.
