African Wild Dog

Endangered Savannah Best: May – Oct (denning season)

Did You Know?

African wild dogs vote on group decisions by sneezing. When a pack debates whether to hunt or move, members sneeze to cast a vote — the motion passes when enough have sneezed.

The Full Story

With an 80% hunting success rate, wild dogs are Africa's most efficient predators — far ahead of lions at 30%. They are also the most caring, with pack members regurgitating food for injured or elderly members.
