My second Arctic snowmobile expedition was done in April 2018. This time I felt better prepared of the hardship to come. It is a tough and brutal environment and one that I like very much.

A hunt in camp is special and to witness Painted Dogs hunt and kill three times around camp the same day is crazy. We witnessed three kills in a single day and know there must have been at least two more successful hunts just outside of camp.
The Painted Dog is a diurnal carnivore living in packs. They are endangered due to loss of habitat, but also because they are susceptible to diseases such as rabies, contracted usually from domestic animals.
Faidherbia albida is an important tree in many parts of Africa. The seed pods are important for raising livestock and are relished by many wild animals. Its is also highly valued in agroforestry.
