These two fully grown elderly adult male Wilddogs, must have come a long way. They seemed very tired and have collapsed under a bush: I was able to get quite close without disturbing them. They were the largest specimens of wild dog that we had seen, perhaps weighing as much as 55-60 pounds. They were alone, because we could not find any other individuals in the vicinity. Wild Dogs are known to travel great distances, and so they may have just been coming through this area to join up witht their pack at some further point.[Botswana].
Wild Dogs playing at night (dbl Image) by having their usual family rumble where one is chosen--or choses--to play victim and lie on the ground while the others playfully nip and prod him. {Kwando, Botswana].
Wilddogs having a friendly scrum: I don't understand their 'games', but I am sure that these 'rumbles' have much to do with bonding between individuals in the pack, thus justifying the expenditure of so much energy. [Botswana].
