Be the Creature - Wild Dogs

[@indigohalf]

I really appreciate the lack of cinematics and sensationalism here. I remember watching Kratts' Creatures on PBS when I was little. Good to see the Kratt brothers are still all about education!

[@KryztalKitsu]

I actually like how they show people in this documentary; It illustrates how tough this terrain actually is. It seems so open, but it's still hard to get around and it states how even a native animal can get tripped up and hurt, but also how they can use it to their advantage to hunt, or escape being hunted. It just further emphasizes how awesome these animals are to be able to gracefully move around in their habitat, while humans still need to invent an even better vehicle to even keep up. :D

[@rypatmackrock]

My best guess for the best vehicles to keep up with the dogs, (and I saw this in one African wild dog documentary besides this), is probably either an off-road motorcycle, or a good mountain bike after mountain biking across my high school days. Yet I do not doubt at all, that because of the veraciously capable predators like lions and hyenas, that it is dangerous to bike across the African savanna. I am yet to visit Africa myself to witness these majestic ecosystems. Someday after I visit North American parks like Yellowstone, the Black Hills of South Dakota, the plains, and to see the red wolves in North Carolina besides zoos.

[@goofygoober1057]

I used to watch the Wild Kratts everyday when I was young now hearing their voices brings back so many memories I wish I was a kid again😭

[@rypatmackrock]

I grew up watching Zoboomafoo on PBS, I’ve only recently discovered wild Kratts within the past year; and now I am exploring this series that I never initially saw on TV. The Kratt brothers, hearing the stories of Steve Irwin and one documentary when, and since he died, and Austin Stevens have been my biggest nature mentors with Coyote Peterson as well this past year. In the beginning for me, it was Zoboomafoo and the favorite leaping lemur who thankfully has a continuing bloodline of his fellow sifaka lemurs.

[@joethompson-t8s]

​@@rypatmackrock also Martin n Chris also worked with Jarrod Miller from animal exploration with jarrod Miller from the qubo show I think it's so cool tht it all coms full circle

[@justaguy4real]

9:16 so amazing that Funny Lip can pickup on so much return so little. And instead of running or hiding, she goes out to check it out herself. Awesome

[@justaguy4real]

20:35 i like how it woke alarmed and then looked at him like "oh it's just you" hahaha

[@melissashipley7634]

I love these guys...i wish they were still making these documentaries. They do a kids show now called Wild Kratts, its a cartoon nature show on pbskids, my son and husband watch them together. Its great for tv time as a family.

[@justaguy4real]

9:40 so incredible how enthusiastic they are to get back and feed the pups.

[@milkapeismilky5464]

I fell in love with wild dogs when I saw captive pack at Denver Zoo. What really strikes me is how their mannerisms and socializing is just like domestic canines. And damn, those pups are gorgeous!

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

It's uncommon and unusual to see them at zoos (at least from what I’ve seen), so I love when the zoos I visit has them! ❤️

[@tygriscalcutta729]

Honestly it's really amazing how the dogs are so comfortable around the Kratts. Having them near the den, walking right past one, including the jeep in the line on the hunt. Incredible.

[@wilboersma9441]

*pride of lions eating a giraffe* "Let's get out of here" *drives thirty seconds away to a primative campsite* I love the Wild Kratts lol

[@rzadan]

I love all animals but Wild dogs are one of my favorites. I love their love to their family members.

[@HK-gm8pe]

my favorite animal is hyena so you an imagine that I love wild dogs as well, soo sad that they are almost extinct :(

[@williehopkins3436]

Me and global like wild dogs if I was one and global was one our packs could team up and defeat yo hyena clan

[@pamelatenn2890]

I agree with your comment. I really admire these Beautiful AFRICAN PAINTED DOGS.... GREAT, SUCCESSFUL HUNTERS. 85% KILL RATE...

[@pamelatenn2890]

I Really Enjoyed this Video. Love the Family Dynamics of the AFRICAN PAINTED WILD DOG. I JUST LOVE THESE BEAUTIFUL DOGS....

[@pamelatenn2890]

THE PUPS ARE VERY, VERY CUTE.

[@tashaschneider1419]

They make the cutest little chirpy noises!

[@justaguy4real]

2:20 so fascinating how much the littermates stay together all the time basically as support for each other, and their tolerance of each other when feeding on a kill whereas they'll nip and complain and fight off the elders. I'm thinking probably its bc its been engrained into them as they bonded feeding/nursing by each other together; it simply makes sense. I so much adore watching these creatures interacting and compassion with each other...

[@imaij1]

Wild dogs are most definitely one of my favorite animals but really I love them all...never get tired of the watching them in their natural habitats. I am glad some humans realize how important it is to preserve all species of animals.

[@justaguy4real]

9:15 i've gotten so accustomed to seeing them with those huge ears, its hard/weird to picture them like the other way without them 9:17 those bellies always so full. why cant they just hold all those snippets a bit longer to really appreciate the scene of these magnificent millions of years old creatures. 9:25 thats just the most adorable sight I've seen yet. toooo cute they are. I just cant see how they instinctively know to run back to den for safety and shelter. there's no others in there to protect them, they just simply go in there bc its home

[@justaguy4real]

8:25 absolutely adorable all the pups pile up or stay really close to the adult And instinctively know to run to den to hide for cover

[@justaguy4real]

9:25 so fascinating the puppies instinctively know to run to the den when an elder growls

[@RagnaYoroshi]

Amazing! We could learn so much from these selfless creatures!

[@chloederijcke4300]

Samen gezien hè

[@justaguy4real]

2:30 roaming Africa for millions of years. Wow that's crazy to imagine. 2:30 So neat seeing the previous years litter all about tending to the current litter as the cycle repeats itself in which next time it'll be this current litter tending to their following litter. and as stated before, so adoreable how the littermates all huddle up and stay together everywhere. too cute

[@enriqueramirez0615]

Each African Wild Dog pack member 1) Mated Alpha Pair 2) Six Brothers/Uncles & Sisters/Aunts 3) Four Yearlings (older siblings) 4) Twelve Puppies (younger siblings)

[@CrustofCreation]

Wild dogs really do treat puppies like royalty. There is a clip called "spy pup" where researchers send in a robotic puppy that looks exactly like a wild pup. The adult dogs accept it and love it like it was their own. What a generous breed of animal.

[@W.A.T.P...55]

Has anybody seen the documentary about solo the wild dog who lost his own pack to lions and was on her own...it's brilliant guys

[@nelsonthabiso1656]

Yeah I've seen that one twice, and I think I still have it in my downloads

[@cryptoethics1070]

Thanks for the tip, amazing. ❤

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

So beautiful...love these animals. I hope they aren’t doomed to go extinct, but there are so few left!

[@rypatmackrock]

Just like certain wolves I’ve been researching about in North America like the Mexican wolf, and the even more endangered American red wolf; they have the inherent advantage of having large litters like this, which can help them recover as long as we help them.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

@@rypatmackrock I hope so. Thank you.

[@rypatmackrock]

@@sharonkaczorowski8690 you’re welcome. I’ve learned that alligators have a similar story; and now they are in the clear. They too were once threatened and endangered between the 60s and 70s, they were protected, and because they also have large litters guarded by protective mothers; one of my cousins that lives in Florida casually told me “they are everywhere” when it comes to looking for them.

[@asshat72]

I liked the documentary style, it made it more fun and zany. Very good footage of the wild dogs, especially the regurgitation footage and wild dog close ups!

[@salishawheeler76]

Those sores that were on them were probably from flees. The mom is not the only one who carries pups in her mouth. And they may not have been carried at all. And she may have moved dens because of an enemy in their surroundings, flees, and/or just because they usually move dens every so often depending on the surroundings.

[@justaguy4real]

3:15 right side pup doing what I thnk is the cutest posturing and gesture they do.

[@sjlegends]

These brothers are awesome, I want to join you people.. great job

[@juliethomas3334]

You know what kratt brothers are amazing because they know about creatures than me

[@HK-gm8pe]

yeah, imagine how amazing it would be to be this close to these wild dogs :)

[@cristinesalisbury63]

The tree dog would make a great album cover...for black metal.

[@pamelatenn2890]

The 2 Guys had bad luck with their Vehicle....ONE MISHAP AFTER THE OTHER.....I FEEL FOR THESE GUYS WONDERFUL VIDEO...THANK YOU SO MUCH....I LEARNED ALOT.

[@justaguy4real]

12:21 that's a money shot right there. And looks so funny dude in background looking so serious LOLOL

[@NintendoTV64]

This show was awesome! Even though I preferred Zoboomafoo to it, this and Kratt's Creatures were still fantastic shows.

[@danaburkhart5743]

Thank you for that amazing viewing of the beautiful extremely smart and skilled wild dogs. Be safe guys.

[@scoutnewsom763]

i love the Kratt brothers. I awtch all their episodes

[@eduardofreitas8336]

Great doccumentary! Learned a lot and it was fun to watch!

[@justaguy4real]

42:40 funny how viewers perspectives vary, as some are all about the poor little prey to get away and survive or cry about its capture and abrupt consumption, whereas these guys are thrilled and relieved to see that they caught some dinner for themselves and the youngsters.

[@justaguy4real]

its so funny adoreable and cute how the pups all usually huddle together

[@justaguy4real]

1:22 so adorable the way they run back so cute

[@mangatsika]

what a documentary! i love this so much

[@justaguy4real]

10:40 interesting how much their sense of urgency changes when they've already had plenty to eat. from quick and desperate to relax and chill

[@blackcatproductions6]

I don't quite see how this show is gay. I think it's pretty cool. And the Kratt brothers are awesome! You guys are just being haters...

[@harveystew]

who said its gay? this is great.

[@blackcatproductions6]

It's not. They mean gay as in stupid or lame or whatever. Chris and Martin aren't gay. They're brothers. I've only known fangirls to ship them with each other, but they aren't gay or anything. (In fact, they're both married. Chris to Tania, and Martin to Laura)

[@nicholasf3023]

dawnpackAJ I'm pretty sure Emilia is saying that you shouldn't acknowledge the word "gay" being used as an insult. If you don't think it's stupid or campy, say that. If you don't think it involved lovers of the same gender, say that instead. "Gay" and "stupid" are not interchangeable words.

[@cormarahjordan4493]

dawnpackAJ. right

[@rcsoccer5174]

[@berrysikanyika9263]

You are great journalist ,brave and hard working ,am impressed with your documentary well coverd

[@tmitchell6552]

No mention in this doc of the amazing bravery of these animals. They fight to the death and not just in packs.

[@justaguy4real]

10:40 how chill the pup is already full unlike at first when it's really hungry

[@justaguy4real]

3:20 Gosh look how big those bellies are. They def do consume some frkn meat. Absolutely incredible how much food the pups consume, their bellies are always full yet they're still feeding them, those little creatures are so well cared for and nurtured, it's absolutely amazing.

[@justaguy4real]

12:40 amazing how even "Funny lip" was fed so much her gut is expanded outward

[@mohamadfaiz6935]

This is when Martin Kratt was 37 years old and Chris Kratt was 34 years old back in 2003.

I Really love the African Wild Dogs there very unique and awesome dogs i feel bad for them due to all the hunters there are that kill these poor dogs it is so sad and horrible to see them kill these poor dogs

[@canadiancryptidscanadasbea8335]

Hi angel i am just wondering if you can post somemoreinfoon the hunters that kill these dogs you say that its horrible to see them killed by these hunters i have not seen this and would like to confirm this so pleasepost links thanks

[@magentastar14]

their isn't any links to it or anything like that but people do kill them for their fur and everything else

[@justaguy4real]

14:06 wow that one was literally poopin while it was running to greet others, clearly from the excitement.

[@23jjack]

I wonder if they realise they wanted to hunt and that jeep will alert all animals in the area

[@dcrcort]

i was thinking the same exact thing. They are being extremely loud and obnoxious too .

[@BobaChan-f2c]

Could you be more specific? "I wonder if the pack realised the Kratt brothers wanted to hunt as well. Also that Jeep would alert other animals of the pack's presence."

[@justaguy4real]

12:20 how awesome it must be to see that in person

[@catlover5654]

Individual African wild dogs can be identified by their unique coat pattern. African wild dogs hunt in groups and can bring down wildebeest weighing up to 250 kg! On average, the female African wild dog gives birth to 10 pups, which is the largest average litter size of any dog. African wild dogs form packs of 2 to 27 individuals, but only the dominant male and female breed.

[@ph0l-412]

38:30 Creo que soy el unico que habla español pero solo quiero decir que, lloré al pedo por el perrito. Y también que sigo todos los shows que estos dos hermanos hacen porque los quiero mucho

[@mangatsika]

yo igual😭😭😭 amo demasiado a los hermanos

[@dukeman7595]

Great job guys really enjoyed all your hard work.

[@blackngold007]

You ever considered the wild dogs moved away because they got pissed off with the 2 humans that kept stalking them every day

[@cheryldahl9192]

That's what I thought too! lol Humans make terrible hunters especially when they drive a loud vehicle everywhere and talk while the pack is stalking something.

[@justaguy4real]

9:30 how awesome it must be to be there up close n personal to observe them. I envy these guys, as well as Kevin Richardson the lion whisperer

[@memetastic01]

Now, I have offically seen atlest one episode from each of the kratt brothers shows.... Life is complet!!! XD

[@thetoycollectorofseville6428]

They should do an episode on the duck billed platypus.

[@techgeek1162]

Great video. you brothers rock. Thanks

[@justaguy4real]

9:40 so adorable they all want to feed the pups

[@justaguy4real]

3:20 good gosh those bellies, so huge. uaully I'd think they had worms, but they are actually very well fed, aside from playing they're always eating. 3:50 bellies still full yet wanting to consume more.

[@justaguy4real]

2:40 I wonder how soon they start to identify each other individually with their littermates, then the elders.

[@alphaomega8373]

Was such a great show this and Mutual of Omaha.

[@justaguy4real]

14:20 fascinating how they all get so excited together 37:50 if theyd leave the camera on it long enough we could see that its still breathing with chest convulsions 43:00 why didnt you show the whole take down? clearly edited out the best part

[@outsidegreece8241]

This is not a docu about wild docs. This is a docu about two guys and a jeep in Africa...

[@TheDevilsHeat]

Such beautiful creatures =) Thanks for teaching the rest of the world about them!

[@TheHallieLogan]

A little bromancy for my taste but I love this look at African Wild Dogs as they are one of my top 3 favorite animals. What I can't help but wonder is why they never bothered switching to a more maneuverable vehicle like an ATV which (with some ingenuity) they could attach a camera and have a bit more luck 'joining in the hunt'

[@peterparker2981]

That must be incredible. I dont think the dogs are annoyed. They are perhaps accustomed to seeing the two guys.

[@bryce8262]

"Woohooo! Runnin with the pack!" "We are in high gear now!"

[@justaguy4real]

3:57 hard to see, but that pup in the middle of the chaos getting all jostled around LOLOL too funny. 3:58 they're all already so stuffed, how the heck can they take in anymore?? Let alone want to being fat bellied already....

[@hilarymungure8590]

Nice video with excellent presentation from the brothers although as an expert I felt that after project these clans were highly habituated, Maybe, Maybe not... As i guess they should've given them some space. Sincerely they could've not acted the same with other predators as the African Lion. To note Humans can be a two way traffic, conserving and destroying wildlife (and biodiversity), thus Habituation can lead to disturbance to species as a matter of fact that Wild dogs can be easily habituated and are sometimes so friendly.

[@justaguy4real]

11:44 so Rip was a pup from Puzzles and Jiggy. Wonder if he didn't mate with Puzzles bc she was his mother..?

[@familyfirst7036]

DO MORE Y'ALL ARE VERY ENTERTAINING

[@Ronmckee87]

Not only can the pups Aunt move them, she can also nurse them

[@marissamerrick9122]

Incredible footage, though the sick puppy made me want to cry.

[@jacobgarrity9055]

African Wild Dogs are my absolute favorite animal in the world that they will hunt bring down prey as a huge pack to eat Impala, Zebra, Wildebeest and Thompson Gazelle. Alongside with Lions Leopards,Cheetahs, Hyenas, Caracals and Jackals who are also my favorite land Predators in the world. These animals have big competition together and all about survival. Also it’s our duty to protect these Wild Dogs and all of its unique wildlife.

[@justaguy4real]

9:20 i wonder if the growls are for their signal to go, or warning to the possible threat

[@AvanteFPS]

When that pup appeared to be dead, it was so sad. Glad it pulled through!

[@justaguy4real]

9:20 so amazing they instinctively know the warning growl is danger and to run back to the den. they weren't taught that. and FUNNY LIP goes out to check it

[@brookec8522]

Love watching these. Thanks so much for posting! Do you by any chance have any episodes from the other seasons? :)

[@isabelcarrillo9298]

Wild dogs I like the way they operate. Team work. Unlike lions who only thinking about themselves!

[@PaintedDog]

Painted Wolves are such beautiful animals. Between these guys and Grey/Timber Wolves are my favorite animals. I wish they would make a come back like the Timber wolf is. If I can ever get to Africa and just see a pack of Painted Wolves I wouldn't care about seeing any other animal

[@PaintedDog]

***** LOL yea they are, nice avatar, better than your other one. Are you following me?? LOL

***** Painted wolves are the most unique colored canine. Love their markings.
