@bigcatsnamibia: Follow👉IG @bigcatsnamibia Now Don’t Regret It !!!The African wild dog, lycaon pictus, is one of the rarer creatures in nature, not only are they severely endangered, but their intelligence, social pack structure and attractive appearance make them one of the more memorable species on Africa’s list of predators. More than 500 000 wild dogs once roamed across 39 countries in Africa, but today, only 5000 are left in just 25 countries, and Namibia can proudly say that it is one of these last bastions of wild dog society. The dogs are highly intelligent and excellent communicators; keeping in touch by means of clicks, grunts and howls. The pack operates in rotation, systematically running down their victim, typically impala, once it has been isolated from the herd. The wild dogs bring their prey down by ripping pieces off it as the hunt progresses, until the animal eventually collapses from exhaustion and blood loss. This seemingly brutal method is largely dictated by the small size of the dogs, who reach a shoulder height of just 70cm and weigh only 25kgs. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to visit these wild dog sanctuaries while staying in Windhoek, by doing so, you are directly contributing to their continued existence.
