Jens Cullmann: " When wild dogs regurgitate, it is usually to feed their puppies with the meat from a kill they made just before. Unfortunately this all goes super fast and I struggled for many times to take pics of it. Either I was to late and haven’t seen it, the light was kack, or some dogs were in my way ... anyhow, I missed out so many times. But here you can clearly see how one painted dog regurgitates pieces of meat to feed some puppies and they eat it! "
The first photos show a jumbled confusion, a collective frenzy. Only the last photo explains all the precedented ones... The cubs received their pieces of meal and are eating under the eyes of the adults. A mark of their importance, of their recognized future importancy.

African wild dogs are wild animals. But replace these ones with some domestic dogs, for example german sheperds, the passion, the sight would be similar. But for the African wild dogs the play is essential. Pleasure and importance are simultaneous.

Interactions between lions and African wild dogs.
A confirmed record of two old adult lionesses being killed by wild dogs in the Kafue National Park
From Predation on Large Mammals in the Kafue National Park, Zambia - Mitchell, Shenton, Uys (1965)
"There are two cases on record of wild dogs killing and eating old lionesses."

Here is a video of a 15 year old lioness being attacking by a pack of wild dogs
Information by Dr Gus Mills on lion and wild dog relations
Lions have bad effect on wild dog numbers. Dr Gus observed lions killing wild dogs on multiple occassions.
"Wild dogs suffer in similar fashion: they lose lives to lions and meals to spotted hyaenas. I once saw a pair of sub-adult male lions kill 7 out of 10 wild dog pups in less than 15 seconds. The pups, accompanied by 13 adults, were moving along the road when the lions rushed out of the bush. The adult dogs scattered in all directions, but the small, 14-week-old pups were unable to escape. The lions just bit the pups and left them lying in the road, some of them still kicking. They made no attempt to eat them. On another occasion, a nursing mother left her den late in the morning for a drink at a nearby waterhole and was ambushed and killed by a lioness. The lioness ate only a small portion of the dog; it then dragged the carcass under a bush and left it."

Lion predation and aggression is the cause of one-third of wild dog deaths in Kruger.
"Lion predation accounts for almost one-third of wild dog deaths in the Kruger, and is the most common cause of death among wild dogs there. Like cheetah cubs, the dogs are not killed for food, but simply from aggression by a larger species towards a smaller species with encroaching food habits."

Photo of one of sub-adult male lions who went on a wild dog-killing rampage
"A wild dog pup at the feet and in the jaws of a sub-adult male lion, one of two that had just killed seven pups. Lions have a major impact on the density and distribution of wild dog populations."
