On the Hunt

Late afternoon in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, part of the greater Kruger National Park, a pack of Wild Dogs were on the hunt. This particular dog was running through the bush and together with other members of the pack brought down an impala which they quickly consumed before returning to their den to feed their hungry pups.

African Wild Dog - Lycaon pictus

The Latin for Wild Dog is Lycaon pictus or “Painted Wolf”. Like the Wolf, the Wild Dog is a nomad and a formidable pack hunter. Unlike its distant relative, each Wild Dog has a distinctive pattern of black, orange-brown and white markings, so that no two Wild Dogs are the same, the only common feature being the white tail tip. The Wild Dog is one of the most maligned creatures in the wild. Whereas the species formerly occurred extensively throughout Southern Africa, it is now the only endangered species of canid in the region. In truth, Wild Dogs live an exemplary and democratic domestic life.
