The injured wildebeest was besieged by wild dogs, and the female wildebeest never left.

There is a complete food chain on the African savannah, from lions and leopards to antelopes and rabbits. As the "king of grassland", the lion is called "the first brother of Africa", but the leopard belonging to the leopard family has a low status. Although leopards and cheetahs are also fierce carnivores, they like to live alone, while other carnivores on the grassland are mostly social animals, so the second and third brothers in Africa are not leopards, but hyenas and wild dogs.

As a social carnivore, hyenas are superior to wild dogs in average length and weight. So hyenas are called "the second brother of Africa" and wild dogs are called "the third brother of Africa".

Although both hyenas and wild dogs have the word "dog" in their names, hyenas and wild dogs are completely different species. Hyenas are the only animals in Hyenaceae, while wild dogs are canines.

Wild dogs are African wild dogs. Adult African wild dogs are about 1 m long and weigh only about 30 kg. This size is below the average among many carnivores in Africa, and they can become "the third brother of Africa" not only in quantity. Wild dogs have another advantage that other social animals don't have.

That is to stick together and never give up. As carnivores, wild dogs mostly get food by grabbing prey from other animals, such as solitary lions, leopards and cheetahs, but as fierce cats, even solitary lions or leopards should not be underestimated. Therefore, when wild dogs grab food, it is inevitable that members will be injured. The advantage of wild dogs is that they will take care of injured companions, instead of abandoning companions or even seriously injured companions like other social carnivores. They will help their companions by ruminating on semi-digested meat. Moreover, wild dogs who go out hunting will eat after eating and drinking enough, in order to bring the meat back to the territory and spit it back to the "sick and disabled" in the ethnic group.

This is an excellent means to preserve the strength of the wild dog population.

Unlike most social carnivores on the grassland, the number of males in the wild dog population is greater than that of females, and it is females, not males, who compete for mating rights. In the process of fighting, wild dogs are not like other animals. They always pretend that one side is dead to end the battle.

Wild dogs are carnivores, but occasionally they hunt by themselves. In order to meet the needs of large populations, they must hunt medium-sized animals, such as gazelles, wildebeests and wildebeests.

Recently, a foreign wildlife expert took a photo of wild dogs hunting wildebeests. In the picture, an adult wildebeest is surrounded by a group of wild dogs. Their small bodies are very flexible. They always bite their prey quickly and then jump away. The wildebeest quickly fell to the ground under the siege of a group of wild dogs.

Just as the wild dogs were about to enjoy a big meal, suddenly another adult wildebeest emerged from the bushes. This wildebeest is obviously smaller than the wildebeest already lying on the ground, so we infer that it should be the wife of the attacked wildebeest.

Just after the siege of wildebeest, wild dogs are also physically exhausted. Coupled with the desperate protection of wildebeest, a group of wild dogs can do nothing.

In the end, the wild dogs gave up the "fat" that had reached their lips, but the wildebeest in their hands obviously couldn't stand up, and only death was waiting for it. At that time, wild dogs just had to turn around and have a full meal.
