Desperate Buck Tries Drowning Wild Dog to Escape

After being caught by a lone wild dog, this Nyala tries to escape by going into the water, dragging the wild dog in with it.
Fortunately, the Nyala's screams attract lions which indirectly save it!

Benji Solms a guide at Serondella had the privilege of witnessing this drama unfold and shared it with LatestSightings.com.
"It all began with a lone wild dog chasing a female Nyala. However, the Nyala was not ready to give in just yet and swiftly outsmarted the dog. She jumped into the dam and managed to get out of harm’s way for now."
Wild dogs, also known as African painted dogs, are incredibly skilled and efficient hunters. They are highly social animals, living in packs with a structured hierarchy. This teamwork is the key to their hunting success. They have an impressive success rate, with estimates suggesting that they are successful in about 80% of their hunts.
"The wild dog stood at the water's edge and forced the Nyala to go deeper. As the Nyala got deeper into the water, the buck must have thought she was in the clear, but exhaustion started taking its toll on her. That’s when she started struggling to stay afloat. Her situation seemed hopeless as she struggled."
Nyala and many other types of bucks are not known for their swimming abilities. While they may wade through shallow waters and navigate small streams, they are not adapted for swimming long distances or in deep waters. Their bodies are built more for agility on land than in water.
"Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, an unexpected hero arrived on the scene-a lioness, casually walking from the opposite side of the dam. Curious about all the commotion, she came closer to investigate. With her two cubs by her side, the lioness caught sight of the wild dog."
"Rather than getting a potential meal, the lioness decided to chase after the wild dog. With the wild dog now out of sight and the lioness distracted, the nyala could escape. She used the small window she was given and managed to run away, unharmed."
Nature's unpredictability often brings us to the edge of our seats, and this incredible experience is a testament to that. It answers the question of why people go over and over to these remote, wild places. It’s the suspense of not knowing what could transpire next that keeps people so glued to and addicted to these wild spaces.

Yes but they can live solitary as well but the success rate is lower but Lycaons like Solo showed that even alone, hunting isn’t impossible as a Lycaon!

[@Saurian25]

No. Their strength isn’t purely in numbers, genius (sarcasm) … They are just as successful and capable at hunting alone as well hunting in groups, multiple videos/shorts prove that. In addition, there are cases that show they are pretty physically capable by themselves against larger prey, such as, for instance, a documented case showing where a lone wild dog took down a female kudu (which weigh anywhere 396 to 517 lbs). That is very impressive.
