Wild dogs moving, one dog stop on the road scouting. Rare footage from the wild. The African wild dog, also called Cape hunting dog or painted dog, is an endangered species, with only four remaining populations in Africa, one of which is Kruger. Wild dogs are almost constantly on the move. To capture a photo of one standing still, is a rare opportunity! Wild dogs have the most structured social order of the carnivores, living in packs led by a dominant male and female. All other members of the pack play a subordinate role to the alpha pair. Wild dogs tend to shy away from areas dominated by lion and hyena. There are an estimated 450 – 500 wild dogs in Kruger, so seeing them is a matter of luck. They can roam over long distances – up to 250 square kilometres – and may travel over 50km in a single day looking for food. Wild dogs are high-stamina hunters, capable of maintaining a 40km/h pace over five kilometers and increasing this to bursts of more than 60km/h for short distances. The pack splits up during the hunt, with some dogs trying to drive the fleeing prey in a circle towards the others.
