Why the Impala Is Harder to Hunt Than It Looks | Animal documentary

Ten African wild dogs. One tired impala ram. Three hunts in two days — at dusk, at dawn, and in a rising dust storm beside a shrinking waterhole. Wild dogs are among Africa's most successful hunters. They don't ambush — they run prey down as a team, split into wings, and cut off every escape. So how does a single impala survive three rounds against a pack built for distance?
