    Nice way to bring awareness to more zoo visitors, for a species that needs alot of help in the wild!

    I've been in the bush in Zimbabwe with Dr. Greg Rasmussen as he tracks and collects data on Painted Dogs. He's working on publishing data soon about den disturbance. We've witnessed the devastating effects of people approaching the dens. So glad you're doing this research project and along with the data hope a lot of awareness is raised.

    That must have been an interesting experience - would love to hear more about it. I'm definitely looking forward to collecting more information on this issue, and as you stated, raising awareness.
