      @@user-ho3dk4pg8y This water hole was constructed to serve animals in numbers that wouldn't have been there otherwise, including some not native to the Namib or to the country. And thus attracting tourists. Neither would be natural. In doing so, the grasses around the water hole have been trampled and grazed more heavily and have been mostly eliminated. The feed may be entertaining but the view isn't natural.

      😂😂😂 I have 5 German Shepherds right now and have had many through out my life as I train them. I would freak out if one showed up and looked like that. A good German Shepherd should never slope like that. But I get what you are saying. Your comment was the 1st one and I saw it as the video started. I was straining, thinking OMG....why is there a German Shepherd at the watering hole. It would never survive in that heat or in the wilds of Africa.

      I live in the US, have European German Shepherds and longcoats on top of that. When I go to an AKC Dog show for Obedience or Scent trials, there are plenty of people that give me the snob nose or the why would you ever....the German Shepherd "Show" communities are forever at war with which type is superior, Showline or working line (police/military style), America line or Euro line. Having a longcoat is an offense, and having a white is a crime in some eyes.
      So I didn't take offense. I was teasing. I forget people can't hear your tone and don't always know you are not serious. I'm also sorry for sounding like a ....Karen. yikes
