In both cases prey dies very quickly, usually from shock or loss of blood. Wild dogs concentrate on 'easy' prey, mainly the young, sick and old. At approximately 23 months of age. Each pack has a dominant male and female. During the mating season male's fight vigorously for dominance, but the dominant female will remain the matriarch.
Mothers give birth to their young in disused burrows of other animals.
To begin with, pups drink milk from their nursing mother, but within a few weeks they begin to eat meat. This meat is obtained by the pack which goes out to hunt, each member only returning after it has gorged itself on the prey. Being very obedient and subservient towards adult wild dogs and particularly towards their parents, pups respond quickly to any sound uttered by an adult member of the pack. As with all predators, wild dogs help to maintain a numerical balance of species. In other words, if wild dogs were to disappear, other species would multiply unnaturally and create imbalance in nature.
