Some Predators form packs as an efficient hunting strategy like wild dogs Developed by KZN advisors
African wild dogs form packs of up to 40 members, each with a dominant breeding pair that remain monogamous for life. These gregarious animals are co-operative hunters, relying on sight rather than smell to pinpoint their prey. Hunts tend to occur at dawn and dusk, but on occasion the dogs will venture out if there is a full moon. Developed by KZN advisors
They chase until their prey tires, reaching speeds up to 55 kmph, and sometimes disembowelling prey while it is still running Developed by KZN advisors
African wild dogs live in packs of 6 to 20. The aggression exhibited towards prey is completely nonexistent between members of the pack and there is little intimidation among the social hierarchy. Their large range of vocalizations includes a short bark of alarm, a rallying howl and a bell-like contact call that can be heard over long distances. Elaborate greeting rituals are accompanied by twittering and whining. The entire pack is involved in the welfare of the pups, which are born in thick brush or in a den. Developed by KZN advisors
Sharks also hunt in groups Developed by KZN advisors
Group hunting improves efficiency. By hunting in groups a predator can kill larger animals than a single animal can kill Developed by KZN advisors
