00:00 Nature has given prey to every predatory creature.
00:11 But the method for obtaining it differs.
00:18 It depends on strength, speed and camouflage.
00:24 African wild dogs are perhaps the most successful hunters on the planet.
00:33 4 out of 5 chases end with killing prey.
00:39 They hunt as a group.
00:42 One pack of wild dogs can kill any animal, regardless of its size and strength.
00:50 But catching prey from a herd will never be an easy task, especially when we talk about buffalo.
00:58 They are huge animals that weigh 20 times the weight of a wild dog.
01:06 But the weakness is that it is easy to separate them.
01:11 The wild dog tactic is to scare the buffalo and run after them, so that separating them becomes easy.
01:21 As long as the buffaloes are on the run, predators have a great chance of getting prey.
01:29 The weakest will always be a good target.
01:33 It became clear that the target was the calf.
01:38 When prey is trapped, the dogs enjoy the advantage of a 360-degree attack.
01:46 A tactic that sooner or later wears down the defender.
01:51 But some buffaloes still had a chance to save this little calf.
02:04 Indeed, they succeeded in saving him.
02:07 But only temporarily.
02:13 Wild dogs never give up.
02:17 As the number of buffalo herds decreased, their fear increased.
02:24 Only the mother of the calf held on to saving her son.
02:29 But not so long.
02:32 His chance of survival is now zero.
02:38 The mother loses hope in saving her child and runs away as well as the rest of the herd to save her life.
02:48 Wild dogs with their intelligence get a great meal that can satisfy their empty stomachs.
