Wild Dogs Bravely fight Big Cats, one of the most dangerous hunters on Earth
Wild Dogs Bravely fight Big Cats, one of the most dangerous hunters on Earth
WILD DOGS VS CHEETAH
A group of safari goers captured this epic showdown between a couple of cheetahs and a pack of African wild dogs in South Africa’s Pilanesberg National Park.
The cheetahs had been nursing a fresh wildebeest kill when the wild dogs approached. At first, the cats managed to keep them at bay, but the wild dogs’ strength is in their numbers.
With their buddies as backup, it didn’t take long for the gang to overwhelm the cheetahs and take their carcass for themselves.
While cheetahs are capable of outrunning Ferraris, they aren’t necessarily known for their strength. In fact, they tend to avoid confrontation with other predators, which means it’s not unusual for their meals to be stolen.
African wild dogs, on the other hand, are great at overpowering their enemies, even if it’s just with sheer persistence. They hunt in packs of up to 20, primarily targeting antelopes, but sometimes taking on larger prey like wildebeest and zebras. And, nearly 80% of their hunts are successful.
When they come across competition, their strategy is to launch a coordinated attack, taunting their opponents with a series of loud whoops and squeaks. Even the boldest cheetah just can’t stand up to that.
WILD DOGS VS LION
Shocking footage shows the moment an aggressive male lion attacked a litter of wild dog pups while their parents were away.
The pups had been left alone by their parents for only a few minutes before the big cat arrived on the scene. The incredible, but heartbreaking moment was caught on camera by 22-year-old junior actuarial analyst Jared Wolf while on a trip to the Sabi Sands, South Africa.
Our day started off with excitement and pure joy, but ended with heartache and plenty of tears,” Jared told LatestSightings.com. “As the mother left the pups for a few minutes, probably in search of new food, all hell broke loose. Out of nowhere, an aggressive male lion barged into the scene and unfortunately got hold of two wild dog pups.
Lions are known for dominating African wild dogs by stealing their kills and preying on their young. Studies have shown that wild dog populations are significantly lower in areas where lions are more abundant.
Unfortunately, this litter’s mother had no choice but to go out in search of food for the pups.
Wild dogs are highly social animals with strong bonds that live in packs with organized dominance hierarchies. Packs consist of anywhere from two to 27 adults and pups. African wild dogs produce more pups than any other canid, and can have litters ranging from six to 16 pups — though the average is around 10. Because multiple large litters would be impossible to feed, breeding is limited only to the dominant female. Pups are weaned at five weeks, and are then fed regurgitated meat by the other pack members.
