Some wiki facts: “There were once approximately 500,000 African Wild Dogs in 39 countries. Now there are only about 3,000-5,500 in fewer than 25 countries.”
“Dominance is established without blood-shed, as most dogs within a group tend to be related to one another in some way. When this is not the case, they form a hierarchy based on submission rather than dominance. Submission and nonaggression are emphasized heavily; even over food, they will beg energetically instead of fight.”
“The African Wild Dog hunts in packs. Like most members of the dog family, it is a cursorily hunter, meaning that it pursues its prey in a long, open chase. Nearly 80% of all wild dog hunts end in a kill; for comparison, the success rate of lions, often viewed as ultimate predators, is only 30%.”
