Wild Dog Efficiency

It was in the morning, after 10 minutes drive we saw a pack of 8 African wild dogs, one of the world’s most endangered species. Within a few minutes they started trotting towards a herd of impala and took off chasing the impala. They caught one within some seconds. These predators happen to feed unbelievably fast - in less than 5 minutes it was all over and they each had a small chunk of meat. They went into the nice shade, to rest for the day and we felt they same since it was getting hot.
