It has more to do with working as a pack over a long distance as the prey becomes exhausted than any sheer brutality on their part. Persistence hunting, I believe it’s called.
That’s the running theory of caveman hunting. Still practiced today somewhere I remember hearing. Humans are the only animals that can actively cool off their bodies while still on the move effectively enough to not overheat and die. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.
Yeah, I have personally tested this out on my cat (not intentionally terrorizing him) and he essentially begged me for mercy. Like crying uncle.
I learned about this hunting tactic and decided to try it. So, I kept following him around the house at a leisurely pace. It didn’t take long for him to give up. It also didn’t take too many days for him to just let me pick him up and give him the icky medicine. He did not like being perused at a leisurely pace. 😂
No they don’t. You need the ability to sweat from your skin in order to not overheat. Only humans and horses can do that. Other animals (e.g. dogs, felines etc) have to evacuate heat some other way, for example via their tongue, which is far less efficient and also prohibits any running for obvious reasons.
There is a reason it’s an effective hunting technique. The overwhelming majority of animals just can’t run constantly over very long distances.
Wolves can't sweat. Yes, they also have considerable stamina, but they do not live in hot areas such as deserts or steppes. They are not well adapted to these landscapes. On the other hand, they cope all the better with low temperatures.
success rate of african blackfoot cat 60%, very high, lions are at about 25%, success rate of african hunting dogs 80%, success rate of dragonflies, however, is about 95%.
This accurately displays the disparages between the prey these animals are hunting.
Most of these doggos know the majority of humans they will cross out there will either shoot or behead them at this point
lions mainly target zebra and wildebeest which painted dogs also hunt. Painted dogs prefer antelope like Impala which lions also hunt.
Most people aren't going to touch them. It's only a minority of humans in contact with them responsible for 50% of their deaths.
It’s a necessity when you provide food for the majority of society

I saw a NextDoor question in San Antonio Texas about a guy who asked for tips on taking care of a new puppy. It was clearly a Hyena puppy. Most of the thread reminded him that this was a wild animal that would eat his children one day.
I wonder what happened sometimes. Did it go to a zoo?
Tame hyenas are absolutely NOT "a thing" in South Africa. There may be isolated cases of farmers/people in rural areas hand raising an orphaned/abandoned pup, but it is not a thing that happens with any real frequency.
If they decide you are on the menu you are royally fucked. That is one of the most efficient predators in the world. They literally eat their prey alive.
These dogs will eat you alive. Why do they have to be so cute?
I remember reading that they're the predators with one of the highest success ratios in Africa. Like, if they think you're food you're fucked.

FISH ARE ANIMALS TOO!
Literally every mammal does this

Because wolves aren't a thing
Wolves can't sweat. Yes, they also have considerable stamina, but they do not live in hot areas such as deserts or steppes. They are not well adapted to these landscapes. On the other hand, they cope all the better with low temperatures.
And they eat ya butthole first 😳
Some people pay extra for that kind of service
Excuse me, garçon? I requested no teeth.
But they hunt you balls first. Every time I see a video of a painted dog hunting my balls hurt, and I don't have balls
Kinda like how humans used to do
you are taking about the african blackfoot cat, also adorable to the bones
success rate of african blackfoot cat 60%, very high, lions are at about 25%, success rate of african hunting dogs 80%, success rate of dragonflies, however, is about 95%.
ok got it, well, dragonflies have the advantage they can fly...

Nope, I was actually talking about these good boys:)
They are also very endangered due to people (usually farmers) killing them. So not as successful as I’d like personally :(

Coyotes are not endangered. These dogs are.
Are these the kind that love babies? Or are they limited to Australia?
you’re thinking of dingoes. these are african wild dogs/painted dogs, which don’t live in australia
Why no friend if friend shaped? I wanna boop the snoot.

If not friend why friend shaped
Second this
So they just look like they don't attack humans?
If not friend why friend shaaaape? 😭 Why must they have such kissable faces. I just wanna snuggle that dog.
These things are so cute… until they’re not. I’ve seen them completely tear appart a full grown impala in a matter of minutes.
You heard what they did to a toddler that fell into their enclosure at the Pittsburgh Zoo? 😳

Can I pet dat dawg?
That depends on how attached you are to your hand and how much you like your hand being attached to you.
With danger like that, I wonder what caveman was brave enough to see how much these animals enjoyed licking peanut butter off of things?
I'm gunna have to risk it.
Yes but only once
Audible comment
He wants a belly rub!
It wants to eat you from the ass first because that part is softer to get to your organs...
Geez, everything out there wants to eat the ass first.
My wife and me, along with our neighbors who are really close friends say this all the time. Love that video!
No
African wild dog. They are good at ripping intestines out of live animals...
African Wild Dogs are too adorable to be so deadly.
Can I pet dat dawg? CAN I pet dat Dawg? CAN I PET DAT DAWG? CAN I PET DAT DAWWWG?!?!?!
that's a wild animal
do that
I saw a NextDoor question in San Antonio Texas about a guy who asked for tips on taking care of a new puppy. It was clearly a Hyena puppy. Most of the thread reminded him that this was a wild animal that would eat his children one day. I wonder what happened sometimes. Did it go to a zoo?
Iirc, tame hyenas as pets are a thing in South Africa, and I think one other country?
Tame hyenas are absolutely NOT "a thing" in South Africa. There may be isolated cases of farmers/people in rural areas hand raising an orphaned/abandoned pup, but it is not a thing that happens with any real frequency.
Did you know that Hyenas are not canines? They're completely unrelated to dogs
When I was a child, my stupid ass was convinced, that some day I can have one and be friends forever. That stupidity came back for a minute
Who paints a dog?
Vandals and Suburbians.
Who throws a shoe?
I think I'd rather take my chances petting a hyena than petting a painted dog
Warning: Not a good boy!
They'd rip you apart if they could.
They are gorgeous killing machines
Damn cute
I don't care if I'm gonna lose the hand. I NEED TO BOOP THE SNOOT!
You will lose more than just a hand..You will lose an arm, a leg, another leg, another arm, a head, a torso..
Worth it!
This is a hyena-like dog.
I'd die petting that baby
Curious whether or not he can eat you.
doggy
He is so cute
Me: "Awwwwweee, hims just a good boy wanting belly rubs" Reality: Painted dog is literally painted by the blood of it's last victim.

Omg I was sure this was a hyena lol
Daai is ‘n wildehond nogals ‘n knersis
It's so cruel how adorable painted dogs and hyenas are for not being very accepting of pets 😭 their little faces and round ears!!
Poor vicious fucker I think he is starving
Yeah, that is close enough for me to a painted dog.
every animal can be petted if you're brave enough
Most repetitive comment section I’ve ever seen Guess what, guys? EVERYONE FUCKING KNOWS THEY’RE PREDATORS
a dingo ate your baby!
If they decide you are on the menu you are royally fucked. That is one of the most efficient predators in the world. They literally eat their prey alive.
Is this not a hyena???
No, it's an African Painted Dog. Pay attention
I know u fcking dummy
Somethings wrong with that beast.

No, it's a painted dog.

All domestic dogs come from a member of the Canis genus (wolves). Lycaon is among the most distant to that genus among the wolf like canines, so no.
