Cape Buffalo hunted by African Painted Wolves

Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia, Africa

Africa’s Painted Wolves have been known by several names including the African Wild Dog, African Hunting Dog, Cape Hunting Dog, Painted Hunting Dog and Painted Dog among others.

They hunt by coursing, simply walking up to the prey to initiate a chase. Once started, they can run long distances at speeds up to 66 km/hr. Together they work to divide the herd, focusing on the weak, injured or younger members. Once exhausted the prey is eventually caught.
