Painted dogs breed at the coldest time of the year. After 69-72 days of gestation, the female pack leader, also known as the alpha female, gives birth to her pups. #PaintedWolfWednesday #savethepainteddog #pdc #wildlife #conservation

Wild dogs will use a cooperative hunting method with large prey, such as a herd of oryx. They run in and out in an attempt to separate a calf or a weak individual from the herd. If the herd doesn’t stand its ground or panics and runs, the hunt is on. Safari #Wildlife #wilddogs

Do you like dogs? I sure do (I couldn’t live without Rufus).. painted dogs may not be the most well-known African animal (or cuddly like Rufus) but they are essential in the Eden of Africa and are in serious danger.

Domestic dogs are an important link in the disease transmission chain as they come into contact with both humans and wild animals. They are also the most cost-effective and logistically feasible target for vaccination campaigns. #LRVC @IUCNsos @EU_Partnerships @mpala_rc

#wilddogfact pack members bring back food for the pups when they are left behind as the den. This is known as provisioning. In large packs the alpha pair are less likely to regurgitate food for the pups, but they are more likely than other pack members in small packs. 📸Lip Kee
