these are wild dogs. there are only two hundred or so in kruger park so it's absolutely amazing that we saw a group of them--twice! they are so cute and look/act like regular dogs. but behind that sweet exterior is a viscious beast. basically, they hunt in a pack and together eat their prey alive, bite by bite. and the bites arent even that big either. other animals like lions/leopards kill their prey immediately and then eat it. but wild dogs just run with the prey and bite off chunks until the thing eventually dies of blood loss. not a nice way to go. but at least they're cute!
ew not cute Julia.
