A wadi is a dry river bed or valley in the desert...it's dry most of the year, but if there is winter rain, the water flows through the wadis.

Oh no! A bit more to manage than a stray dog :)

That closer one was a bit too curious...he followed me across the whole wadi and probably would have followed me home! ;-)

What a fun spotting. I love it when the animal is curious too!
