アフリカの野生犬は恐ろしい評判を持っていますが、人間を攻撃することは非常にまれです。そして、通常は挑発されたり、脅威を感じたりした場合に限られます。
Though African wild dogs have a fearsome reputation they very rarely attack humans, and then usually only if provoked or they feel threatened

Im pretty sure if this guy fell down or collapsed they’d eat him.
This is Kim Wolhuter, an Emmy Award winning wildlife filmmaker. He walks and sleeps unarmed with totally wild animals, including the most feared predators, enabling him to capture unique glimpses of Africa’s wild animals.
They eat their prey living. Risky video.
I’m confused cause they say if you run- that can trigger an animals instinct to chase you (is that the same or different from provoking) but then if you stay and or yell you might intimidate them? Like I’m getting all my animals confused and instructions so obviously I’ll end up dead somewhere but just wanna clear it up for my ocd lol
Kid fell in the African dog enclosure at the zoo near me, he wasn’t so lucky.

Yeah I wouldn’t want to be the one putting this theory to test
People don’t know but there are wild dog packs pretty much everywhere including tiny islands even destination ones like in the Caribbean. I accidentally walked into an active kill with a goat on a pristine beach trying to get up but the dogs had broken its neck. Blood was all over the sand, the raging fierce waves staying at 6’ as they made it all the way to the shoreline creating a steep drop off in the sand. Those dogs could’ve easily ripped me to shreds and I would die quicker if I had bailed into the water, fortunately I slowly walked out of there and the dogs just hid in the jungle line waiting for me to leave.
The last thing you wanna do is run like prey even if they’re smaller predators.
Nah they just want pets
This footage wasn’t found on a bloody cell phone on the side of this trail by any chance?
I know he’s an OG in this shit but I think getting killed by a pack of wild dogs has to be top 5 worst deaths for any species.
I think they’ve got the highest kill rate of any predator in Africa. Something crazy like 80% success rate. They’re so good at hunting lions will follow them just to steal their food. And the dogs don’t even really care because…they’ll just go kill something else.
The worst thing about them though…is how they eat. They’re mouths are too small and jaws to weak to go for the throat…
So they eat their prey ass hole first. It’s a really gruesome thing to watch.
Wonder what would happen if he stopped running 🤔
They all like “I know this guy from 1000 generations ago”
I would spook them for sure while shitting myself.
“Hey, just drop that box of Milk-Bones and we’ll stop chasing you”
What happens if you pet one and say good doggy ?
Any time there is footage on Reddit of some type of “thrill seeking” many people feel the need to comment that they would never do that thing, or that person is stupid or selfish for not thinking of their loved ones etc. no one gives a fuck about what you are unwilling to do LOL, it’s also a very sort of trite boring statement in general
I feel like Africa is one of the last places I’d go for a run. All the predators just getting triggered into instinct mode lol
My chemistry teacher said i was weird for thinking African wild dogs are cute. I will never apologize, they are adorable.
I once had the experience of witnessing a successful African wild dog hunt in Botswana. 2 dogs tore into a large male lechwe (larger impala) while it was still alive, the lechwe ran 50 feet with its entrails dangling then collapsed. The 2 wild dogs consumed almost the entire carcass in 10 minutes while a hoard of vultures bickered for scraps.
If they decided he was food, that man could’ve been killed and eaten in under 5 minutes.
They are amazed how slow we are 😆
so…like…land orca?
I don’t want to be the exception to the rule.

Stop and pet them, let’s see!
Almost looks like they’re telling each other “You do it “
I think African wild dogs have the highest hunt success rate of the African large game predators, like something in the 80th percentile.
I cried when I got to see wild dogs. It was a special moment. They are very rare.
Great workout plan. Guaranteed to get your steps in
They wouldn’t waste energy following you if they weren’t hoping to reclaim that energy somehow.
They don’t look especially fearsome, but they do look hungry and there are a lot of them.
That takes a lot of balls lol.
And that’s the day I learned I could run a marathon
And I get nervous when a dog looks at me sideways when I’m out for a run
I don’t care, there’d be a full turd in my boxers when I finally got the time to check.
African wild dogs hunt their prey by chasing them until the prey is exhausted, so they can’t struggle while being eaten alive. They are waiting for him to stop jogging before they pounce. His best strategy is to jog at a leisurely pace until they get bored of waiting for him or they find something else to stalk.
Walkies!
They are highly intelligent and work well together and can plan.
Watched a documentary of them hunting. They broke off into two groups. One group was chasing their prey down a path. The other group was waiting down the path and when the prey came by, they flanked it.
They’re hoping he either falls to the ground or hunts a big juicy quarry for them to steal.
Is there a part 2? 😳
Or u know if they are starving not a great gamble
If this guy even slipped, those animals would be all over him in a heartbeat. And then what would happen? Every single one of that pack would have to be put down.
Tell that to that little boy that fell into a zoo enclosure with them. He wasn’t a threat. Google it.
It was brutal. It was bloody. It was quick.
Are they also called painted dogs?
The bad things is they have the same hunting strategy we did, and do it more viciously
I would not take my chances
