Deadass, the little "peeps" they make are adorable.

[@mikes3737]

There might be something to this sneezing stuff. I put this video on my TV with the surround sound on. My dog was mildly interested in the wild dog chatter, but when the sneezing started, he bolted upright and kept tipping his head back and forth.

[@melissaleigh8019]

This could be true as many hairless dogs come from the african wild dog

[@nojorooney]

@@melissaleigh8019no they don’t, all domestic dogs share a common ancestor and are closer to gray wolves than any other canines (although the dogs today did not evolve from the wolves that we know today, they just share a common ancestor) although some dogs like the Australian cattle dog are reported to have some dingo ancestry, the classification of dingoes is still heavily debated to this day

[@missbearlockholmes]

My dog sneezes when she wants me to get up.

[@reubencaldwell8494]

A family of Wild Dogs has a firmer grasp on popular vote than most people.

[@Emper0rH0rde]

And if they evolved as such, they would probably have an even firmer grasp on the concept of representation, if every wild dog in Africa had to vote on a single alpha to lead them.

[@huntergrant6520]

Isn't that called mob rule?

[@AI-dp3rd]

@@huntergrant6520... no, that's called democracy.

[@TarZak]

Also could be a way they clear their nose and heighten their sense of smell before they go hunt

[@aquaticnstuff7666]

yeah definitely, the narrator is just a joke

[@TulipCD]

@@aquaticnstuff7666 no

Sneezes. This is so cool. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)

[@ineedhoez]

Look into intermittent fasting and autophagy for brain repair and new brain cell growth! Here's hoping!

[@chibigojirasolos]

wonderful, im assured your wife is very thankful

[@missbearlockholmes]

I hope you are well, and continue to be well for many years to come.

[@touremuhammad5983]

Fun fact: Indian Wild Dogs, or Dhole, also vote by sneezing. 🤧 🗳

[@cheryleappel9766]

African wild dogs are also one of my favorite kind of animals they are so cute and adorable

[@Onetwothreefour.]

Or, before a hunt, senses are heightened, and come the sneezes to follow

[@glatznatureproductions]

Fascinating! 3+ minutes well spent. Can’t wait to see this on PBS. Beautifully done.

[@Pumpkintiti]

& Wild dogs is one of my favorite wild animals

[@Plushie_paws]

I love seeing this bc it’s one of my theriotypes

[@bagwelltheodor5243]

love is power and these wild dogs are just amazing

[@KalanMiller]

Those noises they make when they're in a group sound like remixing a song

[@patty_rish]

This might sound strange. Lol but my pitt will sneeze on things she don’t like or doesn’t want. Her sneezes vote no. lol i looked up why. And apparently behavioralist say its because dogs are clearing away a scent they dont like from their nose or a scent that might stop them from hunting for what they want. Lol so maybe these wild dogs chattering are like “hey if y’all are trying to hunt we need to clear the old scents” 🤷🏼‍♀️ idk just a thought based on what I’ve read.

[@James-Deep]

My dog would make sneezes when she wanted to go for a walk.

[@SpecialSP]

If only they would make good pets … ❤

[@dinazulfikar7837]

[@zenkalt]

"Complex voting system"? Looks to me like a simple "Ayo, who's hungry?" situation...

[@Pumpkintiti]

Just please post longer videos please TY 🙏🏽🤍

[@Balochfunclub]

Hello

[@albertleguizamo8331]

Yes #1

[@emeraldcrusade5016]

What they didn’t show was the dogs ripping the impala buck apart while it was alive and kicking. It was too family unfriendly for PBS.

[@WildlifeAnimal123]

So, can these dog bark like our domestic dog or not?

[@squiddiot5477]

According to Destination Wildlife, no, the African wild dog or African painted dog cannot bark like a domestic dog, however they do make a very wide range of vocalizations including chirps and whistles

[@de3p401]

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@duendtusabes]

Boy why you so ears

[@abunumansuhaily3516]

By managing the deserts & wild Vegetation we can bring about a change- Peaceful living of animals. If we let the wild animals live separately & carnivores will be kept in big natural enclosures. Their undisturbed living will ratchet up their birth & numbers and then sick, old or healthy herbivores can be offered to carnivores. The ferocious wild dogs, leopards, foxes, lions, tigers, crocs, cheetahs, wild boars & other carnivores need to be separated from herbivores so that herbivores can live safely. Only sick herbivores can be offered for carnivores. A humane touch will stop the ferocity of the carnivores.

[@herpderp3916]

This has to be troll-posting, nobody rational can actually think like this lol
