On safari: Goldenbeast cubs

In this episode of On Safari, we follow a curious young Goldenbeast cub as he explores the world around him.

Behold the mighty Goldenbeast. Part Golden, part beast, all hunter.

We first spot the notoriously elusive beast at the water hole.

We sneak in for a better look, trying our best to be quiet.

But our paltry skills are no match for the mighty beast’s superior hearing! He licks his chops in anticipation!

And he springs into attack mode!

Oh no! Tell the cameraman to RUN!

Fortunately he is easily distracted.

Exhausted from this 10 second burst of energy, our predator returns to his nest for an afternoon siesta.

    Love that tag bling, you cuddly Goldenbeast! Rock on Brodo!

      He is proud of his tag bling. :)

    I hope the cameraman was able to call the wife and kids before meeting his untimely death ;)

      He fended the beast off with a Greenie, brave man.

    I was hoping that you would post new pics soon! He is so cute – the ginormous head and stubby legs are killing me. My best friend has a golden, and I love her (Lili) to pieces.

      I’m pretty partial to them myself (if you couldn’t tell. :p )

    So adorable! I also must admit I’m severely jealous of the photography skills.

      This set is from my husband. He’s better than me. :)

  • Tonya

    Nothing brightens a day more than an adorable, smiling puppy! WANT!

      He makes me happy every day. :D

    Great Friday post and some mad photography skillz. What type of camera do you use?

    • http://www.pawcurious.com Dr. V

      My husband takes the good action photos (all the ones in this set are his). I take some of the pictures- my personal favorite donut-nose Emmett one was my doing, but he knows far more than I do about doing pictures well. He will be so pleased you like them. :)

      Our camera is….let me check…Canon 30D EOS.

    Look at the paws on that beast!! He’s gonna be a big one! :)

    Love the photos. And is it wrong that I just want to snuggle with the GoldenBeast?

      Did I tell you I saw a mastiff puppy the other day 2 weeks older and 2 pounds LIGHTER? That worries me.

    That reminds me of the fish in the dentist’s fish tank. “BUBBBBLESS!!!!”

    • http://www.pawcurious.com Dr. V

      He is easily mesmerized.

    Love the photos. My dog, Lucy, is completely camera shy. She averts her eyes when it comes out.

    • http://www.pawcurious.com Dr. V

      She has a great smile on your website!

    Ahhh, I am jealous of the great photos! We brought our pup home a little under a week ago and I’ve been struggling to do him justice!
    Brody is fantastically cute, killer beast or no.

    • http://www.pawcurious.com Dr. V

      You have a new puppy? Congratulations! What kind?

      • wikith

        A Brittany!

  • msubugvet

    nice pics of the brodman. Nice backyard!!

      I deliberately edited out the pictures that show the dead grasslands of the summer prairie.

    I’ve only been reading your Blog since I saw Brody on CO & after reading such heartfelt words about Emmett, I envisage Emmett being the wise soul by Brody’s side. Thank you for sharing.
    PS. I’ve always been curious why on earth do dogs carry sticks twice their size? Throw them a stick & they return with half a tree!
