Wild Dog Warriors: Thriving Among Lions and Hyenas | Nature is Brutal

For more videos that showcase how brutal nature can be check out this playlist: • Nature is Brutal
African wild dogs are the greatest hunters on the continent, with an incredible 80% success rate. It’s all down to teamwork: these highly social animals live and work in groups of 20 or more.
But wild dogs are endangered. Only 6,600 adults remain in the wild with just 1,400 old enough to breed. And with diseases like rabies decimating packs, the fight for survival is getting tougher. We follow a lone pair of wild dogs through Zimbabwe as they struggle to keep their young family alive.
The last remaining members of a pack decimated by rabies, they must face down lions, hyenas, and sheer starvation in order to stay alive. It isn’t easy - although wild dogs have some advantages over other African predators. They stalk their prey in slow and stealthy teams, and share the work of hunting and raising young. Is one pair of wild dogs enough to build a new pack?

That stand-off between the three predators - with not even so much as a prey carcass around - was positively riveting!

[@joelng1975]

Amazing vid

[@terramater]

Thank you, and thanks for watching it!

[@nyasha2669]

Amazing video! Although I don’t think it’s fair to refer to spotter hyenas as scavengers. They’re active hunters and most predators are happy to bully another off a carcass. Lions do it to hyenas more than the other way round.

[@terramater]

In the end, nature is simply brutal! Thanks for watching it!

[@legakattack4771]

That means they're scavengers buddy if they're bullying creatures off a carcass... To scavenge. Nobody cares about your basic ass Lion King opinion bro 😭😭

[@touremuhammad5983]

True. Plus, their intelligence is said to rival chimpanzees. 🧐

[@NewAge374]

I came here to respond to this as well. This is a pretty big slip-up if you want this channel to be taken seriously and not turn into sensationalist trash.

[@kevinlucero2817]

Wild dogs are so amazing, they deserve a more famous spot as a iconic species than lions in my opinion, to me they’re probably more better kings and queens of the Savannah than lions.

[@terramater]

That's absolutely true, at least we know that they are better hunter than lions!

[@stevebennett9839]

What a great video, African dogs are so pretty.

[@terramater]

They are! And so cool!

[@saitamadecember2806]

Why do predators, eat other predators after killing them?

[@dotagedrain7051]

Animals and human are the same.... but human think they are god....

[@kaleucadl846]

The made up exaggerated storytelling steals the magic of what is actually happening.

[@MellowSoul-mo7fu]

How wonderful.

[@terramater]

Right?! Thanks for watching it!
