Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Another African Wild Dog rests easy after a meal. Don't let his placid apearance fool you. Members of a pack vocalize to help coordinate their movements. Its voice is characterized by an unusual chirping or squeaking sound, similar to a bird. Wild dogs frequently kill larger prey via disemboweling, a technique that is rapid but has caused this species to have a negative, ferocious reputation. For this reason, even some early wildlife 'conservationists' such as Carl Akeley took pride in killing entire wild dog packs. After a successful hunt, the hunters will regurgitate meat for those that remained at the den during the hunt including the dominant female, the pups, the sick or injured, the old and infirm, and those who stayed back to guard the pups.
