00:00I'm going to send you the map.

00:27It's developing here in Ouakchott, with the dogs.

00:30Especially the huskies, there's a lot of development.

00:33We see them in the city, everywhere, day after day, with the people.

00:38You can see them everywhere.

00:42I thought they would have problems with the heat, but that's not the case.

00:48They adapt well, they adapt well.

00:57I've seen them during the summer and the winter.

01:09During the summer, I learned that they have a shed for the summer.

01:15During the winter, they also have a shed for the winter.

01:19So I was able to compare the two.

01:22I know that the huskies can survive here.

01:24No, don't go out, no, no, no, don't go out, no.

01:28It's too late.

01:40You have to be very careful.

01:43You have to put them in the least suitable conditions for them.

01:48For example, make cages for them.

01:50Even if the cages are made of iron, try to put the roof in wood.

01:54To avoid the heat.

01:57They drink between 4 and 5 liters a day.

02:01So you have to hydrate them and make sure that there is no water missing.

02:06They are not made for anyone.
