African wild dogs are highly endangered carnivorous animals which hunt in packs. The average size of a pack is about 10, but this can reach 30 dogs or more in rare incidences. The role of the adult wild dogs is to care for the pups and provide food.
A lesser member of the pack leads a hunt; once the prey is determined by the pack itself the prey is captured and killed by the hunt leader.
