11.08.2023 HotSpring Pack History: The ZCP (Zambia Carnivore Programme) is also thrilled about South Luangwa's Puku Plain pack, a new group who had their first litter in 2023. The newborns are the great-great grandpuppies of one of Zambia's most famous wild dogs known as 'Wild Dog 73'. He was the oldest known recorded wild dog in natural systems but was caught in a brutal snare in 2014. After being rescued in a joint operation by ZCP and the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, he survived and went onto sire other dogs that now form South Luangwa's latest family! This is a prime example of why it is always worth saving a single animal. Wild Dog 73 was the alpha of the Hot Springs pack and is believed to have been born in 2006, making him around 12 when he died in 2018, four years after being desnared. From successfully leading the Hot Springs pack, his legacy includes: About 17 other packs that formed from dispersed offspring. At least 272 known pups, grandpups, great grandpups and great-great grandpuppies (the newborns of the Puku Plain pack). Links to packs that have repopulated the Luangwa Valley. In the image the current alpha female of HotSpring Pack. #wild #safari

Thank you very much... Wild dogs have an average lifespan of 7-8 years, this matriarch helped to avoid the extinction of this species and deserves applause from all of us!
