We have been in contact with Jan for ages, and it is with great pleasure that we welcome her aboard, not only as a guest blogger, but as a Co. Durham representative for the CFZ. With Davy Curtis already at the helm in the county, the two of them will make a dream team par excellence....

In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

No dog or wolf is taller than an Irish wolfhound, so I'm stumped. They can make it to nearly four feet tall. Arctic wolves and certain packs of the Rocky Mountain wolf approach that height.
There are 4 claw marks from the same foot on the top of the sheep's rump. Best seen on the first of my 2 pictures. The claw marks measured a good 6 inches across.
There were no deep bites. There were 3 puncture wounds on the throat, but the worst injuries were as shown on the photos.
She's recovering.
