  1.  @jennisthecoolestpersonever9098  this is literally the least risk way for them to hunt and its also the most efficient. They hardly ever get hurt during hunts while its common for lions to get hurt by the buffalo they hunt. Going for the neck is dangerous. This isn't some movie where they have to cater towards your feeling, its survival of the fittest

  2.  @ipaja5515  I would say what wolves do is harder. An adult bison can weight up to 1.5 tons and have extremely thick necks impossible to get to. They have the top 3 most densely packed coats that can fend of even the most powerful lone predators like brown bears. So the only way to kill one that big is to spend hours battling, a wolf's bite is also much more lethal. They kill bison cows much easier though, its the males that fight for hours in a bloody battle.

  3.  @joshuawalters7520  Looooll you really thought I'd make a statement with no evidence to back it up, thats cute 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Go and read Temmincks book from 1934. "Cape Hunting Dog - Wildhehond Lycaon pictus Temminck" He sites multiple sources that are from the 1800s who say they were in packs of several hundred. Its a legit soruce. Now back to the debate, 300+ wild dogd do not get controlled by lions and hyenas. 300 wild dogs make lions and hyenas subordinate predators to them. You don't beat that many wild dogs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  4.  @pureffm  I've literally seen a vid where about 9 wild dogs protect a kill from 3 hyenas. When it comes to trying to steal a kill hyenas are uncoordinated, everyman for themselves. They'll watch a clan member get eaten for a when if it means getting some food. The coordination of wild dogs is unmatched, 3 hyenas would only have a chance vs 9 wild dogs if wild dogs are young and unsure of themselves but 9 adults ands its a wrap. But once again no predatory force on this planet is doing anything to 300+ wild dogs...

  5.  @pureffm  hyena will know there is prey just like now. Prey usually causes some sort of noise. They'll see and know the prey is there but won't bother because of the sheer amount of dogs present

  6.  @pureffm  its literally a well known fact to stop hyenas and lions coming the second the make a kill they just do it quietly

  7.  @Poopshitter40000  yhhh that too. People always seem to think they know better than animals who go through these all day everday for millions of years 😂😂

  8. Lions seem to be really bad with dealing with resistance from herds. Wild dogs are amazing at this and will keep a few dogs out the hunt to keep watch for hyenas to hold them off or to keep watch for the resistance of a herd of buffalo. With buffalo they immediately stop their resistance. The trick is to push them back quickly before they gain too much confidence because as you can see it takes time for them to realise they have the advantage. For this reason i stated I've basically never seen wild dogs lose a kill from a herd of buffalo coming back. Lions seem to be very dumb in this regard as when the herd is brave enough lions don't try and push them away...

  9.  roberto gissepi  yh depends, as I said up there a coalition of 6 strong male lions Is too much for anything. In their prime they controlled a lot of the sabi sands and frequently killed rhinos, hippos and giraffes. One yr they killed over 100 lions. They had no competition in their prime 😂
    3
  10.  @jenw6009  yhhh rhinos are a force of nature but all I'm saying a part from an elephant the most powerful force in the animal kingdom is a strong Male lion coalition because theoretically it can be as big as they want, so far the most we've seen is 6 and literally nothing could stop them when they were together

  11.  @deolax1  Because it likely took a long time. This channel is built on short videos that get millions of views so its better to just cut it. Plus how can you feast on something you claim cant be punctured by the very things eating jt ? You make no sense 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  12.  @shafqatishan437  you don't get it do you? No matter how healthy an animal is, nothing on this planet can out run a pack of wild dogs. And the buffalo certainly tried to fight back but the reason for their almost 100% kill rate is everything they want dead is tired out to the point they can't put much of a fight no matter their size or speed
    3
  13.  @Fitbytheday  no they wouldn't because large prides always split from fighting within. The largest known male lion coalition, the mapgo brothers literally ruled until they had fights and split off. Then they were picked apart. Cat's simply don't have the intelligence to know to stick together, they always have to end it with fights because they lack that Intelligence. Canids are known to form large groups when times call for it like the avengers 🤣. When food was low in Russia wolf packs joined to make a super pack of 400 wolves... Canids know to put their differences aside when the time calls for it. Thats why they are able to take out all opposition when they need to. And with male lion coalitions the males are hardly together. They usually go off alone to patrol, thats how many coalitions end because one male will get caught alone. Bug cats lack that unity. 200 wild dogs were the kings of Africa for this reason

  14.  @christianWilliams-pc4jn  No male can stop a pack of that many dogs. If the male can't scare the dogs off and the dogs decide to attack its over

  15. This is na testament to the fear prey animals have of these dogs. Their prey would rather take their chances in croc and hippo waters than face the dogs on land. I heard no predator is more feared amongst prey species than these dogs...

  16.  @faraz-i3x  the reason it died was because it got too much confidence after destroying that hyena. Should've stuck to hitting it once and pulling back but it went in for too long leaving it exposed and the rest is history

  17.  @ashdog236  there was literally 4 wild dogs vs 3 cheetahs. The weight of 3 cheetahs is far greater than 4 dogs...

  18.  @lyricalstyles  I found thats only a recent phenomenon. They used to be by far the most dominant predators on the African continent. Only 50 years ago they used to roll in packs of 100-200. But declining prey meant they couldn't sustain that many mouths and had to split off. Nothing on this planet is successfully pushing 200 painted wolves of a meal. I dont care how big they are, its too much effort and they might end up becoming a meal themselves.

  19. ​@Tom Mosley wild dogs can hold 40+mph for 60 mins. Which equals to 40 miles 😉

  20.  @brettb.7235 What can you do as a single being vs 15 dogs ? The answer is nothing. Doesn't matter how smart you are. I've literally seen them do the same to a lion. They kept the lion distracted while separating the cub. There's literally nothing you can do

  21.  @glasslakes  did you just say dragon fly? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Wild dogs have a larger range in prey size. I don't see dragon flies killing things around 50 times their weight, killing animals that are much much faster than themselves and having to deal with herds that weigh 100s of tons in weight when they decide to come back and push you off your potential kill. There is no comparison here. Plus this is wild dogs at their weakest point in history yet they are still the most impressive killers on earth. DO YOU KNOW HOW INSANE THAT IS !!! Historically they had packs with 100 members around 50 years ago and packs with 300 members 2 centuries ago. Id imagine a 100% success rate with 300+ dogs. I dont see how anything on this planet can deal with that many wild dogs.

  22. She did not stand her ground. She was literally a sitting duck, they weren't trying to kill her anyways. Wild dogs could literally keep up that tempo of assault for hours, the lioness would have gassed out long before then and would be another meal

  23. I've seen wild dogs get up from much worse attacks by male lions. They won't go down in one single blow

  24. ​@Dutti "that's nothing for a hyena" Funny you say that because I've linked videos of 4 or less dogs completely dominating hyenas. Wild dogs own hyenas 😂😂😂😂 https://youtu.be/gM6HNsL4x_w https://youtu.be/FTHyBe3W-0Y https://youtu.be/GwqJ7xfZ_uY

  25.  @An_Actual_Rat  No I'm not saying wild dogs look for confrontation and lions don't. I'm saying wild dogs are ready for it with a few dogs stationed for this exact purpose but lions are not. I've never seen wild dogs be pushed off by a herd of buffalo after a kill but it happens all the time with lions

  26.  @totalhysteria  you literally see 3 of them working together to try push the wild dogs off but the wild dogs were ready...

  29. @Nirvanic  lions physically can't make bigger prides while dogs and hyenas are known to both have packs of 100+ Lions are the most social cats but they are not that social to be making prides larger than 40 members since it eventually causes fighting and the split of the pack. whereas dogs and hyenas have been shown to team up multiple times and hunt together... If they made a super pack, no one would beat them.

  36.  @naturbursche5540  I'm pretty sure hunting things much larger than yourself that live together in large herds, having a more diverse range of prey and still having an 80-90% kill rate means you're the better hunter...

  37.  @tupzc24  watch the mapogo brothers documentary. The largest male coalition we've ever documented at like 5 or 6. You'll see when you watch it. They were literally unstoppable in their prime

  40.  @rebeltvr6046  there is a video of a male adult tiger losing a fight to a female black bear. Tigers and the whole big cat species are all frauds for that major L. Thats literally the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Its been documented by researchers that it only took 2 wolves it kill a primed healthy black bear and an ADULT MALE tiger weighing a couple times more than the FEMALE black bear couldn't do the job???? Absolutely pathetic and funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  42.  @reynerl5830  the cub is gone, as in dead. First we see the cub and the trees but for some reason it gets down and runs. One of the dogs sees it, chases and then the whole pack leave the lioness to get the cub. If you look closer there is a scuffle aa one of the dogs gets the cub, we see another cloud of smoke further in the distance as someone shouts "Oh shit, the cub." There is no way that cub got away, the mothers attempt failed. Most of the pack stayed to keep her busy as some others went to finish the job. Incredible team work and coordination from the dogs. The second the alpha seen the other dog making chase he gathers the whole pack to leave the lioness to get the cub. Once the cub was taken care of he calls the pack back to hold off the lioness some more. I'm presuming once the cub was getting devoured thats the reason for his last call to leave the lionesses alone. The alpha ended by sitting on top of the hill while looking at the lioness. These guys are freaking amazing

  43.  @reynerl5830  Look again, the dog does go and come back but that was the first time. When the cub gets down from the tree to run one dog sees it and goes for it then the whole pack came along. Then someone shouts oh shit the cub. Couple seconds later the pack come back and assault the lionesses some more. But use simple maths, there is less in the pack than there was at the start, meaning some of them didn't come back from the chase. They finished off that cub and there was nothing the lioness could do to stop it

  44.  @obiehive1236  I think in the light of the new video this proves without a doubt that lions alone can simply not handle a pack of wild dogs when they are fully committed. People who disagree will just find vids of them being surprised and a sneaking lion or of them running away, which has nothing to do with what I'm saying. If a pack STAYS and fights, a lion is helpless. Exhibit A - https://youtu.be/_N66o9SqnvQ In the vid above a lioness approaches a pack who have pups around and the dogs send a clear message. The lion gets one but let's go instantly as the pack swarmed in 😂 Exhibit B - https://youtu.be/QIFhyMvLgHo In the vid above again the lion goes for one dog but the pack stays to fight and within seconds she has to let the dog go because the assault by the other dogs was too much. As we can see in both vids, when they all attack there is nothing that can be done. They literally become a sitting duck because you physically can't attack multiple attackers at once, life isnt a movie 🤣🤣🤣

  48.  @anjelortiz2735  nahhh not clickbait. What that guy said above you is true. How many times have you seen the comments of a wild dog kill calling them all sorts just because they made a kill that is gruesome to the viewer?
    2
  49.  @angelus3605  actually they seem to be the best at keeping herds at bay. I always see lion prides losing kills to buffalo herds or wildebeest herds when they decide to fight back. Wild dogs are the best pack hunters around so have a plan for this. I can send you other vids but when the pack is large enough they have dogs stationed in each direction in case of this very situation. So the moment resistance happens they push it away because how it usually starts is from one bold buffalo and then the rest follow but if you can push that one buffalo back quickly then problem solved. But that being said I seen another vid where they handled an entire herd of buffalo coming back to save their young, it was amazing to see. One dog ran in front of them so the herd would follow him and when they did the other dogs came from behind to push them in the direction they wanted. The first dog did that to get them running so the rest would be easier. And theyll also do this with hyenas. One vid have a pack of wild dog handling like 5 hyenas from multiple sides, where they'd take in turns to keep the hyena at bay while simultaneously rotating their job so each would get their share of the kill. These guys are the epitome of pack hunting

  50.  @broadbandislife  ***COPIED AND PASTED REPLY SINCE YOU CANT READ**** You really thought I wouldn't dismantle this random cherry picked source ?😂😂😂😂 "However larger packs have been observed and temporary aggrrations of hundreds of individuals may have gathered for a seasonal response. " That statement came from a book by Dr. Ronald M. Nowak, a former USFWS zoologist whos expertise came in red wolves. He is even less of an authority in the conversation about wild dogs since he has never actually studied them extensively 😂😂😂😂😂 Even in his one statement he says "MAY" not even certain about jt because he's not an expert on them. An expert about wild dogs would know that random packs would never just gather nicely together if they aren't from the same pack. In you trying to disprove me you just gave me the evidence for the existence of super packs of wild dogs 🤣🤣🤣🤣Nice try 😂😂😂😂😂 Unless you can provide other CREDIBLE sources that proves RANDOM associated packs will all just gather together because of migration. Happy hunting 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
