Can 16 Wild Dogs Take Down Adult Buffalo

This is the extremely rare footage of a pack of 15+ wild dogs separating and then taking down a healthy adult buffalo!
BOOK YOUR TRIP TO KRUGER: bit.ly/BookatKruger
A pack of wild dogs pulled off the near-impossible and worked together to separate a healthy adult buffalo cow from the rest of the herd. Their vocalization and continuous biting were too much for the buffalo who was eventually brought down and feasted on by the pack.

This once-in-a-lifetime sighting was captured by 37-year-old lodge manager and guide at Old Mondoro Bush Camp, Mark Nicholson, and his guest, Kevin Dersley, while on safari in the Lower Zambezi National Park.
Mark tells LatestSightings.com the story: “The guests were very keen on seeing the dogs and, with them denning not too far from camp, we had some idea as to where they were. The pack heads out early each morning to hunt and, if they are successful, they return to the den to feed the pups by the alpha female. They have the same routine in the afternoon, heading out around 17:00 to hunt before it gets dark.”
“There are large open areas south of their den and that is where we found them out on the hunt. Then we saw the herd of buffalo; we have seen them attempt to hunt amongst a herd before - trying to separate a youngster or a weak individual but had never seen them have any success.”
“This particular afternoon they started out harassing the herd as usual and then they chased them into a woody area where they managed to separate an adult female from the herd. It was then that they went into overdrive and started biting and pulling her hindquarters and legs. Several other buffalo attempted to chase the wild dogs off, with a few wild dogs countering and chasing them off each time, this allowed majority of the pack to continue their chase on the female. It was an extremely emotional sighting that lasted over 20 minutes.”
“I have been in the safari industry for 16 years and have never witnessed anything like this before!! It is definitely the most incredible sighting of my life and don't know many people that have seen a sighting like this before!”
“My advice: Make sure to take it all in when you see something like this, as it's more than likely the sighting of a lifetime!!”

Secondly, the lions are bulkier and fewer giving the buffaloes some ability to aim and target an attack as compared to the smaller, more numerous and agile dogs.

Humans with that 50% would be hunting once every few days to a week as their diet was mostly plant based with 30% being meat on average.

I’ve always suspected that painted wolves/African wild dogs to be capable of taking down adult buffalo, but I never really believed it 100% and even then, I never thought ANYONE would catch that on film, but leave it to Kruger Sightings to deliver the unexpected and expected! I love this video! It was a bit of a shame that the initial kill wasn’t shown, but at the same time, I’m kinda thankful because the kill must’ve been REALLY gory. I’m used to seeing that stuff, but the people weak of stomach aren’t. One of the most interesting parts of the video was the technique the painted wolves utilized. At the start of the actual attack, a couple of painted wolves bit down on the buffalo’s upper lip. I’ve got a funny feeling that the pack filmed specializes in hunting adult buffaloes because of this “lip grab” technique. Another pack in Tanzania specialized in hunting adult zebras because they used this technique, too. It was a learned technique, and when the painted wolves that invented that technique died, the whole zebra-hunting behavior died out for that pack, too. The same thing will most likely be the same for this pack, too.

They have the top 3 most densely packed coats that can fend of even the most powerful lone predators like brown bears. So the only way to kill one that big is to spend hours battling, a wolf's bite is also much more lethal. They kill bison cows much easier though, its the males that fight for hours in a bloody battle.

It was an old cow. But nevertheless nothing I 'd expect to see ever. Similarly to the male Cheetah Coalition of five in the Masai Mara. They do not only go (successfully) for adult wildebeests and yearling zebras, but are also- and this is REALLY unbelievable considering they are cheetahs!- daredevilish enough to try a chase after young giraffes. And THIS blows nearly anything! Only the warthog piglet chasing caracal, also to watch here on YT, comes near to that.

Beautiful solidarity among the Buffalos...

[@BigBrotherTheWatcher1984]

There's a video of lions attempting to take down a buffalo and then getting stampeded after four more buffalos arrive. Here, we can see the dogs cleverly dividing themselves into two groups, one group kills the prey while the other keeps the other buffalos away. This shows that the canines are not only more capable pack hunters than big cats, they are also much smarter.

It took them how long to take that Buffalo damn. Also I’m just wondering why the Buffalo didn’t try harder in escaping like kicking, running or make a use of those horns.

[@chompnic1]

Evening, it took them about half an hour to bring it down. The buffalo tried with all its energy it could muster to get rid of the dogs but they where just relentless in their pursuit of killing it. Eventually exhaustion overwhelmed the buffalo and the dogs managed to take it down

[@ipaja5515]

I agree. They usually put up a bigger fight with lions and buffalo usually make a more spirited defence when it comes to lions as well. This was a strange kill. May be they'd chased it for longer than the usual lion attack and it put up less of a fight due to exhaustion

[@Devilmaycry-Joker]

They might have the ability to detect disease and terminal illness like wolves can do with bison.

[@thedogman7846]

They didn‘t post the actual „kill“ because wild dogs are very well known for not killing their prey before they eat. They taunt the buffalo with their superior stamina until it can‘t fight back out of shear exhaustion and then start eating it alive rectum first. Lions struggle because they as felines also don‘t have the greatest amount of stamina. That‘s the reason lions need to be big and strong. They overpower and kill their prey before they run out of energy. Wild dogs are small but agile and built for speed and endurance. They don‘t need to overpower when they can just chase/taunt everything into exhaustion

@Levent.A. exactly

[@samo6083]

@Levent.A. the thing is what he did made perfect sense The dogs would have been at that adult buffalo for hours. So what you expected him to record for hours ? He wouldn't know when the buffalo was going to drop or if it would ever drop since this is so rare. It made perfect sense to record some, stop and record again then record when it's come down. I'm guessing there was a long time between the first couple cuts because he cut not only at that part but near the start and middle too. It would've been an extremely long hunt

[@ayoemmanuel4201]

If they could show us how the wild dogs attacked the buffalo and struggled to take it down, why couldn't they show us how the wild dogs killed the buffalo. I think they shot the buffalo and fed it to the wild dogs.

thats a cow buffalo, the wild dogs purposefully picked that one due to it being easier to hunt then a bull. they did try to help but stress got the better of them, if there wasnt a fear factor in the the buffalo could have easily chased away the wild dogs.

@A V there are just too many disney-minded people who project their feelings about pets and disney characters onto nature. the wild dogs here are every bit as innocent as the buffalo and are doing nothing more than what the buffalo does when it's hungry and has found its food. it begins to eat it.

[@theartsyzoologist]

Just don’t apply your own human morals or logic to wild animals that kill based on their instinct to survive and you will be fine.

[@SaadKhan-xn1xv]

@@theartsyzoologist Yup. And even our terminology used is based on our perspective. These wild dogs aren't even intending to or setting out to "kill". WE know that to eat meat, we kill an animal. WE are aware of what that means for that animal's pain receptors and for its ability to live. People can't apply those same things to predator species. These wild dogs chewing at various parts of the buffalo are identical to a buffalo chewing on various parts of a plant.
