African Wild Dogs

An African wild dog ran down the road in Chobe.

This caused great excitement, because usually when they are running during the day they are hunting. They hunt in big packs and chase down antelopes over long distances until they get too tired.

So we chased it for a while but never found the pack.

But we did find another pack sleeping by the highway.

Though they are called wild dogs, they are actually not even in the same genus as Dani.

image

Dani is more closely related to wolves and coyotes.

image

They have gigantic ears.

image

Other than that they look pretty dog like.
