- safarLIVE story : Have you ever met a pack of wild dogs whilst out on a bush walk? Watch this amazing event unfold with safari guide and presenter, James Hendry. This is one to treasure for James and for all of us. Very special.
I like this. It shows they have self control and aren't mindless monsters. Like the guy said "They aren't scared of us, but they don't see us as prey"
All wild canids are like that. Even cheetahs. They are curious and playful about the new funny creature. It's humans that are too stupid to know how to conduct themselves around wild animals to not make themselves be attacked. Dogs read body language and expressionism, and your scent. Anything you can think about doing the dog already knows about just by looking at you. If you are afraid, they know it and will see you as a target. Just be a calm, not afraid, and do not make jumpy rapid movements, let them smell you and inspect you first. If you're not a threat, they will not be fearful of your company and will keep an eye on you but will not be aggressive of your company. Also these dogs are so light you can just pick them up and carry them off, so they are one of the very least scary animals to meet in Africa.
@@MrWolfSnack I still think that an adult human male around 1,80 m tall, standing up, is still out of their league. What matters is always the first impression. From their perspective, 60-70 cm from the ground, we are a huge unfamiliar beast(or at least less than all the other wild species) and they would avoid any sort or risk to put in danger any member of the pack, instead of some assault. And the big difference with all the herbivores they use to hunt, is that indeed we have our eyes in front of our faces, giving us a binocular vision, not sided. This trait in nature is EXTREMELY important because it marks pretty much the difference between ground predators and preys and how they recognize the opposite, even from different species, as soon as they eyes meet. A hyena marks a leopard as predator and not as prey, even before showing any other sign of fighting back, thanks to the look that the leopard gives it back. This is the first approach between two carnivores from different species that meet each other. Unless the difference in size is too in favor of one of the two, if the other carnivore looks back to first, standing still instead of escaping and giving hits back, they instantly recognize each other as treats, but not anymore as hunter and prey. To imagine how a wild dog would react, hungry or not, if it might come across a 30-40 years old human male, try to imagine Yourself exchanging a gaze with a beast tall 5-6 meters (keeping the proportion 60 cm wild dog, 1,80 m) raising your head toward his sight. Obvioulsy knowing almost nothing about it. Even if with other two friends with you covering your back, would you dare attacking that beast without calculating any other possibility to avoid the fight?. This is how you have to think in natural enviroments when it comes to carnivores behaviours. LOOKING BACK and SIZE are always a factor. Because in their mind the combination of these two indicates approximatively how much effort and risk the attempt to attack costs for them.
Naturally all of this is applied to mammals species. With reptiles is all another story
Tell that the kid who got mauled disembowelled alive at the zoo in USA
@@jamesdyer1476yeah but they could have perceived him as food because one would assume their fed by having their food thrown into their cage…
Humans are difficult to kill than other preys. Generally monkeys and primates are harder to kill than a ungulate
This is sort of how early men were able to domesticate the ancestor of the modern domesticated dog (who was also ancestor of wolves). See those wild dogs are very curious creatures and they don't show fear of the men but yet keep a good distance just to be safe. I bet the ancestors of today modern dog were curious as well and simply follow a group of hunters around and discover that they leave plenty of leftover bones with meat after they hunt. Thus a relationship was born.

In evolutionary terms, you need dogs who didnt fear humans (hormone expression) and humans that where intrigued by dogs. The humans would have prefered affectionate, dogs with humans traits, e.g. smiles cuddles etc etc. Those ones where kept and bred... eventually many moons later, dogs ahave evolved by mans selection. All attributed in dogs that humans like are there because humans bred those. People think of dogs as humans often but really they have evolved on a niche by us to portray those characteristics, but they are not truly there, they are just animals, dumb by comparison.
@@eddiem12eddiem12 Check out Bunny, the talking dog. They are actually "there" and capable of complex, abstract, and self aware reasoning.
Bunny's videos show her doing all sorts of complex communication, displaying time sense, self awareness, emotion, planning, humor, and bargaining. At around the level of a 2 or 3 year old human.
They're obviously not as deeply intelligent as humans, and they're slow, taking a few seconds to process things that we "get" instantly. They are definitely conscious and intelligent, by any rational consideration.
@@joshrowe9653 All this is, a dog understanding words and obeying a command... then the humans get to interpret what they think, it like a horoscope, up for human interpretation. I know I will.not convince dog lovers, however this is not sign of communication, further than dog hear word, dog do thing that word demands, owner gets all excited, dog loves the reaction, including treats. Dog are all instinct... a well manipulated set of TH-cam videos, that draw in the hopeful does not convince me, nor should it... there is no scientific basis to this, you only see what the owner wants you to see.
@@eddiem12eddiem12 Well, it's not like no scientist has come out to contradict what you don't want to believe about dogs. I know i will not convince to a generic closed-mind theorist But nothing more than that I wanted to let you understand.
Amazing how wild animals notice there is something different about us out of all the animals they encounter. Its an instinct that literally tells our ancient story that we have lost track of. (We were the shepherds of the Earth at one time I think)
After the rapture animals will have no fear of humans. Just a heads up.
They want your kid and elderly
Not you
well of course when all other animals are living wildlife naked walking in 4 legs and there are some 2 legs walking strange creatures in clothes with giant Jeeps and cameras they ve never met before lol
I would hate to be a statistical error.
you what?
😅
Nah we been shooting/chucking spears at them so long they no longer see us as prey
Oh yeah, ohhh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.
I love the Jurassic reference
Idiot. Wild dogs has never in history even tryed to attack healthy adult humans. So what is there to be afraid of, for a person with a brain that is?
"They don't see us as prey." In other words, they may have already eaten and just aren't hungry.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Humans kinda predator not prey
I believe you more than the guy in the TV show
Idiot. Wild dogs has never in history even tryed to attack healthy adult humans. So what is there to be afraid of, for a person with a brain that is?
in other words, you're just a dork who think animals are estupidos and only think about eating anything they see
One of those moments on SafariLive that I will never forget!
4 balls saved.
Haha yes theyre dick munchers
😂😂😂😂🤣😂
Idiots. Wild dogs has never in history even tryed to attack healthy adult humans. So what is there to be afraid of, for a person with a brain that is?
Wow! What an amazing experience! 💯👍
Love those big round ears 😂 makes them look kinda Mickey mouse
If theyre hungry, Theyll rip apart your guts when you are alive
@@shashiram9889 no i dont thing si, even lions are not sure of humans , like any living creaturs we all have de doubts about things WE dont know and that dont run away which trigger the killer instinct
@@shashiram9889 u going 1st lol🤣
Yeah until you learn they will eat people alive😅
most fascinating thing about the wild dogs is, they dont see you as a prey until they do.
they can take out wildebeest but they dont see humans as prey. that's interesting.
4exgold not really, if you are alone or look weak for them, they will destroy you. Think about it: a regular guy with a weigh of 80 kilograms (with no weapons or some kind of protection) against five or six of these dogs is not match for them. May'be two or even three dogs... but one single of these dogs can kill a male impala (70 kilograms) by its own and without much effort.
4exgold
They don't know our weaknesses yet. If they are aware of your weakness, then they will attack. That is also through for any predator.
maybe we taste bad, but how would they know they never eat us
The fact is that they are so used to seeing humans in their every day lives. From when they are born all they see are truck loads of tour groups stopping by taking pictures and what not. They grow their whole life watching humans on the side lines watching them back. They don't mess with each other. That's why it's rare to see Lions, Hyenas, or many other predators jumping on these tour vans and dragging a person out. They're more curious about humans than anything else.
4exgold that’s God
Wow! Amazing!
Really incredible! Love wild dogs, have never seen any during my time in the Sabi Sands Reserve. Been lucky to have great sightings (though in vehicle) in Madikwe (they were running - hard to keep up) and in Botswana on the Kwara Concession with a whole pride including 12 pups. The alpha female was golden and they had a kill right in front of us, afterwards they toyed with a hippo who finally got too annoyed and waded back into his/her pond. Incredible! Now new goal to see them on foot!
Pack of dogs pride of lions
Thanks for sharing this nice video
Wonderful to watch this moment, once more and again. Painted Wolves ( AKA African Wild Dogs) Painting the whole Bushvelt, especially the Crew from SafariLive, ' tickled pink'........ 💚🐾
That was wonderful to see wow what a sight
I don't believe they were in harms way. What a magical moment !
They don't see you as prey until someone starts running.
Probably not even like that
this is awesome! have "pack" of Chihuahuas, they can get pretty aggressive with people, so this is really amazing on foot for an encounter with wild dogs. the respect and curiosity of the dogs. (showed up on my "Recommended.")
BEAUTIFUL LETHAL CREATURES
With my luck I would be walking down that road and it would be a pack of extra hungry hyenas.
That would a problem: but if some wild dogs came by they could save you !
What an amazing experience.
just awesome
Hello and how are you doing?
i never see a thing like this since i have watching wild life all my life is awesome
The coolest animals in Africa.
he's so cute...I love watching him!
tard
give them your body and you will see how cute you will feel
@@poussy9252 You're a pig and a coward, you'd never say this nonsense in real life. If you're trolling at least have the decency to be funny
@@poussy9252 amber was talking about the guy that was talking not the wild dogs but the wild dogs to me are cute i love all animals but i would never ever get close to them
@@poussy9252 it doesnt mean all predators look ugly but i think all predators are cute even tho they would eat me but they're still cute
man's best friend
Awesome ♡
beautiful wild dogs
I love him so much
Here’s what to know about dogs that are wild or feral.
NEVER RUN FROM THEM! They will then attack.
It stimulates their hunting desire. In the same way that turning your back on a Big cat does. If you own a dog, you will know this.
Because those people showed no fear, the dogs showed no interest. I guarantee if they ran, they would be chased.
Dogs are pack creatures. They have a hierarchy that extends outside their species. (Hence why they obey/don’t obey certain people).
Those dogs are beautiful
Amazing
After seeing what these piranhas are capable of doing I'll not willfully sit in their presence.
They know what humans are capable of, it's not that they don't see humans as prey.
You can't know that. It's just your belief. I believe NOT knowing what humans are capable of is why they didn't attack.
Something has been instilled in dogs and humans along the way, although they are untamed and still scared of the humans in the wild their is definitely a mutual love and trust between us as humans and dogs. It’s very common for wild dogs to be curious of humans and to be friendly. I can imagine it was quite easy for our ancestors to domesticate them.
Honest question: Are they not sitting ducks for Lions and whatnot sneaking up on them? Interested to know if that's happened to any of them before...
are you referring to the dogs or the humans ? :P
Lions don't often take people. Humans are not their usual prey and don't look like most of their other prey species, so they're very cautious around people and are easily spooked. Also, the guides and animal spotters on the property on which safariLIVE is filmed usually have a really good handle on where all of the prides are at any point in time.
The last time I was in Africa I went on a walking safari and I was surprised at how frightened of us all of the animals were. Although it is possible to get very close to almost everything in Africa while in a vehicle, at least in areas with regular tourist traffic, those same animals freak out when they see humans on foot because it is foreign to them. Almost all of the animals we saw that day were off in the distance, running away, with the exception of the white rhinos. I would still highly recommend a walking safari to anyone, though, for there are other things to see that one rarely experiences from a vehicle (tracks and signs, sounds and smells, small animals like reptiles etc).
Even the wild dogs in this video were noticeably nervous and had one of the guys so much as coughed they would have bolted, yet those same dogs can be approached in a vehicle without any reaction from them at all. To your original question: They were also sitting ducks for wild dogs, which are extremely efficient predators (far more successful than lions on a per-hunt basis).
lions are not that frequent
What happens if you had been attacked by any of those wild animals. I bet, the guides, wont let anything happen to you. So either its going to be the life of the guide or the life of that animal.
If you display fear, they will fear and that seems to be the danger point, right
Those wild dogs are beautiful and endangered. We must protect them from humans. They will go extinct if not ! Thank You for sharing this wonderful sighting with me! A’ho
It’s not humans who are killing those wild dogs, it’s the lions. Also, the hyenas are kleptoparasites to them making it difficult for them to feed.
Judith Campbell who said they are endangered?
@@chan8772 They are officially listed as endangered species. Lycaon Pictus if you want to search it up. Also humans are partially responsible. They had a long record of killing them to protect their own pets and settlements of various designs. But they aren't the biggest contributors.
Wild Dogs are the greatest Team on Earth
Thank
Nice
Awesome
Would not have believed it, so double Thanks.
Are they (human/tourist) bring/have something for protection?
No, I am a terrifies me like the wild dogs, they’re absolutely ruthless
Had wild dogs in my garden in HGR a few times . My JR made similar yelping calls to the wild dogs - causing great curiosity. Great sightings with the benefit of a picture window between us allowing for real close up viewing.
Hello Marilyn and how are you doing tonight?
Eu acho esses cachorros lindos.
So surprising!
You all are very brave. Wild dogs are very ferocious and voracious MEAT-EATERS. They are mean eating machines.
Humans put them ALL to shame.....humans eat everything there is and there are billions of them ravaging the earth....
trankt54155 not really most humans don't even kill the animals they eat
@Sterling FB6 Yeah, while two more are ripping apart your ankles and the third one is unsurgically removing your nuts...
Around then you'll be on the ground, and your ears will be missing in about 10 seconds...
@Sterling FB6 Try to imagine yourself in Africa . You get your first look at this "dog you can kick and punch".. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other wild dogs you didn't even know were there. Because african painted hounds are pack hunters, you see, they use coordinated attack patterns. And they bite your neck or your nuts... Or maybe across your belly, spilling your intestines. The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know... try to show a little respect.
@@beng4ll967 nah they don't bite neck, only big cats do that, except for a wolf
Wild dog :"See there's a new ape species there hmm* confused
So, that's why we were able to made friends with them !
I'd be so scared! They're fearsome
It's all fun and games, until ...
the shooter got a phone call
2020-2021
... until they start eating him alive, asshole first.
@@SuperBhavanishankar lol even then lions scared to get shot 😆
💗💗💗
I remember this, Wild dogs are the best!
Wild dogs know humans can destroy their habitat.. So no match for them..
CH0ZEN so stupid
Louca aventura
Mans best friend, we also dont see them as prey
Wowwwwwwwww
Is this the guy from the Croc',Impala and hippo video ? "GO IMPALA" ?!?! 😆
Wow I haven't realized but African Wild Dogs have huge ears much like a Bat Eared Fox i wonder if they can use those huge ears in the same ways Bat Eared Foxes do?
They can hear very well.. In fact, their hearing is one of their strongest attributes along with excellent endurance, intelligence, quickness, and agility. When cameramen leave their vehicle running while filming the sound of the engine can allow other predators, such as lions, to get close to the wild dogs without the wild dogs being able to hear the lions coming... This puts the wild dogs at a disadvantage and I get irritated and upset when cameramen do it..
They use them for hearing ! :D
the big ears help them control their body temperature. I have not heard of any reports of them having hearing any more exceptional than cats or hyenas.
Knowing how vicious the wild dogs were when they tore apart their preys and ate them alive, it was quite fascinating for the fact that they just ignored those guys.
Wild Dogs, flash mob of the savanna!
I love wild dogs. When I was growing up in the seventies we used to have packs of dogs that would roam the streets. They would be strays or dogs that owners had let out while they were at work. I tell my kids about it and they don't believe me :) but it was just a different time. The point being some of these dogs roaming our streets were a lot more dangerous to humans than the ones in this video :) It must have been a great day to see these wonderful animals on foot. They are just stunning.
That's not wild dogs that's stray dogs
@@slaydog5102 Read the comment before you reply!
They don't attack people surprisingly. I had to google haha.
It's more interesting if james henry meets wild dog on skateboard
Is that vehicle or viheycle...
Knowing the wild dog method of hunting, I think I would prefer to meet any of the Big Five on foot and alone!
Stefan winterboer looks a lot like Jason Statham
Yes, he does.
James looks like Jason Statham.
They are intelligent enough to not see humans as prey. Because they understand what would happen if they went too far.
This guy gone nut case
I was hoping for a bestgore type of video.
I wonder why they always move their heads around like that, getting different vantage point and angles lol. unsure of what they're seeing..
😘🐰🐺🐴🐯
An adult would not be prey, but a child definitely.
These dogs are not stupid, they know EVIL when they SMELL IT
🤣🤣🤣🤣
know stupidity when i smell/see it
You're a braying jackass that can write. How cool is that?!
I know a vegan when I smell it
wrg,idts
😁😁😁😁
In Texas I was wandering through the woods and heard growling. My car was a good ways off, but I decided to go back to it. I counted 7 then realized they were not tame dogs....they were wild and very angry. I ran fast as I could, got to my car, got in and started up the car. They jumped on my hood. They were biting my tires....I drove off with the pack chasing the car. When I got home I told Grandpa about it and he and several other men said these were the ones they had been looking for. They had been killing cows and goats. They found the pack...got 4 of them. I never went back there.
Damm that's the reason I don't go in the woods glad you got out.
I love how they are so hype about getting the footage that they are completely forgetting the real possibility have been eaten alive. Awww so sweet. lol
Hello Gracie and how are you tonight?
I would literally have a gun in my arms or hands at that point. Don't care what they're saying about not being prey.
yeah well you wouldn't be able to shoot, so rip
@@moltenxdlmao All it takes is 3 muscles to pull a trigger. Know your place as a human, they are no gods, they are just dogs. They don't have armor plating and they can't outrun a bullet.
The legs look more wolf-like than dog.
dogs ARE wolves dumbass
@@hyzercreek lmao
They are a different species LYCAON PICTUS , painted wolf also known as African wild dog , some people think that there feral dogs and shoot theme...
They were probably sizing you up. And then opted out.
That Human Balls 🤣🙆🙆 gone one day
Stefan. You just witnessed The Law of Attraction in action.
Hello Debbie and how are you doing tonight?
They don’t see us as prey
Wild dogs: and who decided that?
They're ears are shaped as Mickey Mouse
I would be shitting bricks
*Wild dogs:*oh thats a terrifying mammals🤔
Wild dogs are my favorite African species.
Hello Sharon and how are you doing?
Everybody gangsta till the wild dogs rips them appart
Danger, Danger!🦁😬
There’s just no way I’d risk it with these dogs, no way. Have you seen what they do to water bucks twice the size of humans, within seconds?! 😂
Next time with lions!
One wrong move it's ova ladies and gentlemen.
Since we are bigger, they know we are a bigger threat to their survival.
Remember if a predator gets injured that means they can't feed. which is clearly not worth the risk. They, like all species in Africa were clearly aware of what humans on foot are and the potential harm that could be inflicted on them. Human silhouette in wilderness is distinctive and unique and all species either run away from humans on foot or are super wary
Wild dogs: "Stay away. Our ancestors have warned us that this kind of walking-with-2-legs weirdo creators are very dangerous. If you get caught, you'll become a pet of them and you end up with doing nothing fun and vicious but warming their pillows and couches."
🤗😂
how come wild dogs don't see humans as food ?!?
