The dynasties episode in India featuring Tigers is based in Bandhavgarh featuring the Rajbera family -   

 

Here's a few random images from Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh and Kabini.

Still haven´t seen Dynasties, really hope it will be broadcasted soon here.

 

But I have seen its stars - at least the Wild Dogs featured in that episode. This was in Mana Pools 2015, and the Dogs played hard to get. We had to work hard for our sighting, went far off track and found them midday lying under a tree in a dry riverbed, in very stark light. I know these are the Dogs of Dynasties, we only found them because the BBC guys told us where to go - they had filmed them just one hour before. So meet the stars.

 

 

And some better Dog photos from Hwange, Oct 2015:

 

 

 

And from Mana Pools again, October 2017

A little iphone Mana dog action from 2017. Not great video but just the most spectacular backdrop and those sounds, oh they do take me back there in an instant.

My favourite dog experience

@Whyone? ..... the floppy eared dogs! Long gone I think.

[Whyone?]

Yes I thing so @wilddog .... do you know the story behind their floppy ears?

[wilddog]

No, I never, found out.  The jury was out on ear mites/versus genetics.

 

[Whyone?]

It was certainly an odd look...made them apprear more 'domestic' than 'wild' somehow. 

 

I'm reasonably sure that the alpha female had floppy ears...in which case you'd expect the gene to have prevailed?

[wilddog]

I did wonder when I saw that pack as one if the floppy eared dogs DID seem to lead the pack out to hunt.
