  • Did you know wild dogs have an average of 80% success rate in hunting? This drastically out performs other apex predators such as lions, leopards, etc. 

It’s all about team work, the pack uses a sophisticated strategy to take down its prey, cutting off escape routes and using curatorial hunting (meaning they chase their prey to exhaustion). 

When is the best time to watch them hunt: we can usually find them hunt in early mornings and early evenings.
