After a three-hour zigzagging walk we found them – Blacktip and the other adults huddled under a tree against the rain. Like us, they were drenched and the puppies seemed in awe. It suddenly occurred to me that they had never seen rain before. They stared perplexed into newly formed puddles and seemed strangely subdued by this new sensation of water falling from the sky. --- Nicholas Dyer, Africa Geographic
