[National Geographic Wallpaper] African Wild Dog pack (아프리카들개 무리)


Okavango Delta, Botswana
1997
Chris Johns

"At last light a pack of dogs living on a dry sand ridge in Botswana's Okavango Delta heads off for the evening hunt. Packs hunt in the cool of late and early day, sleeping through sizzling daytime heat. A subordinate pack member usually leads the hunt, with the incentive of being first to eat. Once the rest of the pack catches up, the subordinate adults eat last. But there are dangers: Running flat out, the lead dog can stumble and break a leg, and while feeding alone risks ambush by lions. A hunt is no trip to the grocery store???only one in three expeditions succeeds."

???From "Africa's Wild Dogs," National Geographic magazine, May 1999
