Canids Interactions - Interspecific Conflicts

[Pckts]

A pack of domestic hunting dogs, probably owned by a local poacher from the Namibian side of the river, tries to take on a Cape buffalo cow after driving it into the Chobe River. This scene ended in a stalemate, but I think the exhausted buffalo would have been pulked down when it eventually left the water and attempted to rejoin its herd, which by that stage had moved some distance away.

These dogs, which appear to have the classic lines of the Rhodesian ridgeback in their genes, knew exactly what they were doing and had probably hunted buffalo along the river many times before. Reply
