South Africa is filled with all kinds of animals, but how many of you have heard of this one? The African Wild Dog -also known as the African Painted dog - because of its unique coat.
You may have not heard of them because this species has been seen as a pest to the region, so much so, they’ve been hunted to near extinction. But now, conservationists are working towards building the pack's biodiversity and,ultimately, saving the species.
This next film by director Emily Cross is called Part of the Pack. Make sure to stick around after the credits to hear from the filmmaker herself.

If there was a Disney type film made about these dogs I bet awareness and support will skyrocket.
It is bizarre to me that this is a little known species. I have known about them since the 90's.
mmmhhh not really unfortunately, look at rio (not made by disney but owned by them) those blue birds are still endangered and almost extinct :/ i think it would have the opposite effect where it would make people want to own them and poachers would have at it :/
@@inesdreedy I'd still watch it I love painted dogs. If awareness could heavily be spread at the same time....
I've been fascinated by them since i first saw them on a National Geographic TV special.
Zzz p
Me too, but I had no idea they were so threatened! What a loss if they go!
This is awesome. My people please continue to spread awareness about these dogs. I can’t wait to visit South Africa one day and find out how I can help out while I’m there.
Beautiful animals. We have a small pack here in South Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster and they're wonderful to see in real life, even if it isn't quite their natural territory! Amazing family cohesion and sensitivity for such apparently aggressive animals. I love 'em!
Don't they also have hyenas there?
@@hyenaboy7504 Yes they do.
@@Fantic156 Thought so. I've been there last year (also got a hyena plush from there, as well).
Seeker Indie is a brilliant idea. Thank you all for teaching us and raising awareness about the moste vulnerable inhabitants of our planet.
love this series about saving rare animals. 1) those are animals I haven't even seen or heard of 2) it's cool that people are saving them and show huge commitment to it 3) wild dog puppies 😍
2:22 incredible how well fed the pups are. Their bellies allows so full. Wow
I love all the recent videos from y'all and how much this channel has grown/changed recently! These mini-films are so well done and often eye-opening.
I heard about this little guys on reddit, probably 'natureismetal" and "hardcorenature", and boy oh boy... this little guys sure looks cute at first glance, but they're brutal hunters. Well, they are just part of natural nature course.
They’re the most efficient predators in Africa, they also have one of the strongest family bonds of all animals, probably comparable to humans. Love these guys
Fellow South African's can congregate over here😁✌️ This is beautiful and awesome😌
Yes! 🇿🇦
@@julm7744 I think that, taking into consideration that South Africa has a population of approximately 60 million, it is important not to generalize, because surely nobody interested in the conservation of wild dogs has the intent to harm them. As for you calling us out as "your people", be more specific and don't make hasty generalizations. However, the culprits are probably motivated by negative perceptions on wild dogs.
@@julm7744 I'm not quite as polite as the other guy so I'm just going to directly ask, wtf do you mean by "your people"? 🤷
@@julm7744 Well now you can go and find other people from around the world and ask them "Why do your people see __________ as pests?"
One cannot answer for a whole body of people. Why not simply ask: "Why are these dogs seen as pests?" and maybe others will be more likely to respond. 😅
@@julm7744 I was offering advice for in the future, but if you want to place the blame/responsibility onto others to interpret what you say in the manner that you mean... then that's your decision! 😅
I wish more people knew about these animals, they're so interesting and amazing. It would be a tragedy for them to go extinct. I'm currently trying to raise awareness about painted dogs myself, hoping it will contribute in some way to their survival as a species.
What a great video, thanks for sharing content from my home country! It really is such a wonderfully beautiful land, though sadly under threat from too many things. Happy to see South Africa on your channel, please do more :D
I watch a lot of Wild Earth safari live on CZcams and they show the painted dogs
Thanks for the work and effort saving the species. they are one of my favorite wild animals...
Wonderfully educational and inspiring video! We are pleased to be working alongside such partners, to play our part in protecting African Wild Dogs
Amazing animals in every way with unmatched endurance
Their Ears = Fluffy Spoons
During this delightful film, I was nonetheless confused as to why it made it seem as though the painted dog was an animal little known. ? Maybe I simply got lucky catching wildlife footage of them several times before now.
I've seen these guys hunt, they are truly unique species
The ears are so unique. Are there any domesticated dogs that have these rounded, upright ears?
I really am loving these seeker indie things.
Showing us some more unique scientific news!
*Love it*
Really loving the content you guys push out, keep it coming!
3:25 Wish conservationist would take heed to my suggestion about since they can't stop poachers and setting traps n snares that at least try to get them to use something like nylin instead of wire bc then at least the AWD would have a chance to chew itself free using it's scissor like sharp sheering teeth to cut threw, where as the intended prey only have vegetation grinding flat molars unlikely to chew threw. That would likely help tremendously. We need to do the best and most we can to help ensure this remarkable species survival done it's man's fault for devastating their numbers, all bc of a misunderstanding, misperception, and sheer ignorance or hatred for them.
They are so beautiful. Probably my favourite animal.
its crazy how Tyler from twentyonepilots does an amazing job at wildlife preserwation as well...
Be kind to people and animals.
African wild dogs have united to survive but we humans have united to...
I don't get why someone would dislike this video
1. Endangered
2. Africa
3. Animal
4. " If you cant tend to your own planet none of you deserve to live here " 🛸
Love these documentaries
Absolutely adore painted dogs
Their plight and their social life is similar to wolves here in the US…heart breaking.
Great video best greetings from Thailand and stay safe
One of my favorites~
These animals are ruthless.
Their ears are amazing looking...
Anything animals haunting and eating other animals seing in person terrified me.
aw the puppies are so cute
I had once dreamed that I had a bunch of them and I was raising them.
When I was 10 I was obsessed with the wild dog, I drew it all te time and watched all kind on documentaires on the dvd about this animal. I thought and still think it’s one of the coolest animals on the planet. It’s a shame to see these beautiful and intelligent animals getting hunted.
Nice video.
Hey ,have a beautiful day!🥰
My favorite African animal…
Does it involve painting more dogs?
Please look this over.... 3:25 Wish conservationist would take heed to my suggestion about since they can't stop poachers and setting traps n snares that at least try to get them to use something like nylin instead of wire bc then at least the AWD would have a chance to chew itself free using it's scissor like sharp sheering teeth to cut threw, where as the intended prey only have vegetation grinding flat molars unlikely to chew threw.

They’re kinda like Miniature Hyenas.
1:54 it had a collar on?
Human selfishness costs other living beings lives so sad.
Such a tragic history and adversity they've had to overcome bc of ignorant peasants and hunters. These creatures are an adorably misunderstand necessity for the healthy ecosystem inefficient they roam and live, and intermingle/interbreed & mix with other packs for long term health. I love AWDs
They're so cute.....hope we can save them
Let's hope they don't have the same fate as the Tasmanian tiger they should be concentrating on breeding programs
Captive breeding has its place but habitat conservation is arguably even more important
🔥
Cute Doggos !
They're no hyenas?
This is a video on African wild dogs, not hyenas.
We are a pest.
No just you.
I didn't cry 😢
While we run after money and fame, we doesn't see anything else.
I heard about a wilddog
Lyacoon pyctus
South Africa is my favourite country 🙂
Have you ever been to South Africa?
@@suicidalanimal1005 no.
@@nidhinkn5410 well that explains it, then
How to they became endangered species
Beautiful
By painting them
Wild dogs are ruthless when it comes to hunting their prey.
Most pursuit predators are like that, it's a very effective hunting strategy
Broken heart syndrome 😩
Wow, imagine being the type of person who down votes something like this.
What about the rats? What are scientists doing in order to save the rats?
Rats don't need saving they're a delicacy. We are breeding them.
Nice ❤️🌹
Damn so early
easy. just paint normal dogs to look like them. problem fixed. i have done a science. :D
is joke. plz no bulli.
Hey nice voice
Did you know ????
The world's largest family stays in india .The husband has 39 wives ,94 children & 33 grandchildren
Damn his child support must be insane
39 mother n laws too.
Let them go extinct because they are dangerous
Do you have any clue how ecosystems work?
Also: lions, leopards, hyenas, rhinos, sharks, elephants, buffaloes, etc are "dangerous". Should we let all them go extinct and completely mess up the ecosystem?
What's up with these mini docs, they're garbage.
Seeker getting too lazy to make their own vids
I say let them go extinct
Why? There so kind to there pack and there beautiful
@@weeb535 maybe in hell’s standards not here
Tell me you know nothing about nature without telling me you know nothing about nature.
