The tables have turned

This image shows an African wild dog pup with a tranquiliser dart in its mouth. After researchers of the University of Zurich and Botswana Predator Conservation anaesthetised an adult individual in a pack of wild dogs, this pup proved to be a challenge in recovering the dart and appeared very proud of its newfound toy. The photograph was taken in the Okavango Delta in Botswana which represents one of the last remaining strongholds for this endangered carnivore.
