African wild dog pups feast on reguritated meat

When we arrived at the African wild dog den in the Linyanti region of Botswana, all was quiet and the pups we gathered together in a small pile. There was no sign of the adults and we assumed they were away hunting. Suddenly the pups became excited and an adult arrived on the scene, checked out the pups and then regurgitated a large piece of partially digested meat. Clearly, the hunt had been successful. One of the pups pounced on the large chunk of meat and ran off with it. The other pups seemed bemused by events. The pup with the meat then ran in front of the others who gave chase. Quite an experience to see African wild dog pups feast on regurgitated meat. African wild dogs are fascinating animals! The African Wild Dog , also known as the African Painted Dog, is a highly endangered species. They are Africa’s largest canid and about the size of a domestic German Shepard. They are highly blotched with black, white and yellow-brown patches. They have large, dark rounded ears, a slender body with long legs. They are social and vocal animals, living typically in packs of around 10-15 individuals. They hunt in packs and are very successful hunters with about 70% of hunts ending in success. Once fed the adults and sub adults return to the den and regurgitate food for the alpha female and her pups. Watch all my wildlife films in ultrahigh definition on my website: wildlifeaction.co.uk.
