African Wild Dog

Image by digitalART2
The African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus) is a carnivorous mammal of the Canidae family, found only in Africa, especially in scrub savanna and other lightly wooded areas. It is also called the Painted Hunting Dog, African Hunting Dog, the Cape Hunting Dog, the Spotted Dog, or the Painted Wolf in English, Wildehond in Afrikaans, and Mbwa mwilu in Swahili. It is the only species in the genus Lycaon.
The African Wild Dog reproduces at any time of year, although mating peaks between March and June during the second half of the rainy season. Litters can contain 2-19 pups, though 10 is the most usual number.[6] The time between births is usually 12–14 months, though it can also be as short as 6 months if all of the previous young die. The typical gestation period is approximately 70 days.[3] Pups are usually born in an abandoned den dug by other animals such as those of the Aardvark. Weaning takes place at about 10 weeks. After 3 months, the den is abandoned and the pups begin to run with the pack. At the age of 8-11 months they can kill small prey, but they are not proficient until about 12-14 months, at which time they can fend for themselves. Pups reach sexual maturity at the age of 12-18 months.

African Buffalo

Image by Marjorie Lipan
Syncerus Caffer. Tinga-Tinga Kubwa, Kenya. Diorama in the Akeley Hall of African Mammals in the American Museum of Natural History, NYC.

According to the book, Windows on Nature that I purchased the same day as I took the photograph, Carl Akeley and Robert Rockwell traveled to Africa to the tinga-tinga kubwa which was the perfect habitat for the African buffalo. The tinga-tinga kubwa was created many thousands of years ago after Mount Kenya erupted lava that dammed the Tana River creating a two-foot deep marsh with vegetation eight feet high. Akeley chose this site for the diorama. Rockwell tells in his 1955 autobiography, My Way of Becoming a Hunter how he risked his life to obtain the diorama's central large and dangerous bull. He and one assistant located the bull which Rockwell shot. The assistant went for help several miles away. Rockwell was left alone to protect the carcass from hungry lions and hyenas. He built a fire and shot into the air to keep the animals at bay. Later Rockwell used the skeleton covering it in clay to produce a life-sized sculpture of the bull. The clay model was then cast and covered with the animal's skin.

William R. Leigh (also on the expedition) made the background sketches and painted the background diorama. Kikuya tribe's settlements are in the background. Eventually, the growth of the surrounding villages encroached on the marsh developing it for agriculture. Today neither the marsh nor the vast herds of African Buffalo remain. Information is taken from page 38 of the book.

The Television Station I work for hosted Free Friday Flicks in Springfield over the weekend. They were showing Happy Feet and to commemorate, they had a live penguin on show from the local Zoo.

It's kind of neat to be able to get a few feet from one of these guys.
