African Wild Dog

     This is an African Wild Dog as seen from the security of a safari vehicle. This photo was taken in South Africa. They must be harmless; they are dogs - right? In Botswana we saw what they do in packs and that is how they hunt. A group of four wild dogs can take down a much large animal like an impala or maybe a man. They are very skilled killers and quick about it. They do not get as much press as, say, a lion or a leopard, but they something to stay away from as best you can.
