- We did a poll with our community, asking who you think would win in a fight between lions and wild dogs. In 9 hours we had nearly 2,000 votes. Lions won, with 82% of people voting for lions. However, this video shows that it might not all be about brute strength, and maybe having some brains can get you to live through a clash with lions.

This is the incredible moment a pack of wild dogs chase impala right into a pride of lions, where one dog gets caught. You think the dog is done for, but it plays dead, waiting for the perfect moment to make a run for it.

Klaus Boehmer tells LatestSightings.com the story: “I am a German engineer in my 50s who has been visiting Africa for close to twenty years now, usually joined by my teenage daughter Kira. July 2017 would see us back in Botswana. For me, it was my fourth trip, Kira had been there once before. However, none of us had ever visited the Khwai Community Concession. Khwai is well known for its healthy population of wild dogs, my favourite animals, and sure enough, right on our very first game drive, thanks to the help of other guides, our mobile safari camping guide “Master” was able to show us the den of the local pack, a half-hour drive away from our camp.
Wild dogs, especially wild dogs with pups, usually eat twice a day, early in the morning and late in the afternoon, and then return to the den to feed their offspring. Our daily routine was thus to leave camp at the crack of dawn, head straight to the den and then try to follow the pack on their chases.
July 20th was at first no exception, we were anxious to see if the dogs were still sleeping or had already left to find their breakfast. However, on our way to the den, our guide spotted a few other safari vehicles in the distance. He suggested making a quick detour to find out what they were looking at. Initially, I was reluctant, fearing that we might miss out on the wild dog pack but after a short discussion, we headed towards Master’s colleagues.
The guides had discovered a pride of lions with a wildebeest. We counted two huge male lions, three or four females and a few cubs. One of the males had claimed the carcass exclusively for himself, he would let no other lion near it, not even the cubs, so the rest of the pride was spread out in the grass, waiting for their turn to eat.
The community that runs the Concession has allowed off-road driving so guides and tourists can get rather close to their sightings. Together with the other vehicles, we had formed a semi-circle around the lions.
A few minutes later I was ready to leave when all of a sudden one of the guides shouted “Impala, impala” and then “Wild dogs, wild dogs” - two wild dogs were chasing a lone impala at full speed, oblivious of the dangers ahead of them. Within seconds the adult lions had crouched into their attack positions. Those who were expecting them to try and take down the impala were proven wrong, the eyes of the lions were solely locked on the dogs. And sure enough, the leading dog ran straight into the pride. He was obviously no match for the lions, one of the big males overpowered him, while luckily the second dog was able to stop its sprint and escape.
For a minute or so all one could hear were the sounds of the animals in front of us. Their human audience was shell-shocked, I am sure none of us, not even the veterans of the guides, had witnessed anything remotely similar before. And that was not even the end of it. While the people around me thought the dog had already passed, I noticed it was still moving. Nevertheless, the lions hardly paid any attention to their foe, instead of taking out the dog for good they spread out again. The dog made use of their carelessness - and ran off! Most of us were happy, after all, it is only human to cheer for the (in this case literally) underdog. My daughter, however, felt a bit sorry for the lion who had let the dog escape.
The rest of the day we spent looking for the miracle survivor. Master, our guide, was convinced it had died but I was not yet ready to give up. And sure enough, around six o’clock it came limping back to the den. If you look closely, you can see some of the bite marks the lions had inflicted.
We spent three more nights In Khwai. During this time “sick guy”, as we had started to call him, would never leave the den area. The other members of the pack would try to feed him with bits and pieces of the meat they made, but “sick guy” would not even eat. A year later, on our return trip to Khwai, our guide told us that the dog had survived a few more weeks but then finally died.
For Kira and me, it was and still is, three years and six African Safaris later, our best wildlife sighting ever.”

I like how the animals on this channel treat the people in the car, like spectators in a multiplayer game
His quick thinking saved him more months of life, I've seen another video of a wild dog playing dead and they are known to care for their sick/injured! RIP beautiful dog
I like this deeper voice it fits the scene really good.
The way the lions camouflaged was amazing
FACTS
Built for the hunt!
Thought the same thing all over sudden you see a dozen. All eyes....
Savages
Absolutely love these animals. They’re so loyal and caring towards each other and look after one another when the other is injured or ill.
He did really well to live many months after the attack. Most other animals wouldn’t have stood a chance.
The cries of terror and pain from the dog that got caught are heartbreaking to listen to, can't imagine how his packmate must've felt knowing how loyal these animals are to each other.
4:46 At the very last narration, it gets me emotional.. when he said, "r.i.p brave lil' doggo".. T_T
Entering a pride of lions where there's cubs. Is a death sentence
This is the first ever video I seen of Wild Dogs and Lions crossing paths and attacking each other. Great footage!

Watch the documentary Dynasty!
It's you myke ?
It's a one way attacked from the lions
There are loads of videos of lions attacking wild dogs and vice versa
The real definition of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Nerves of steel!
I love how the rest of the pack look after a pack member who is injured.
''Wildebeest meat just tastes better.'' I like that line.
You know it's real when even Bruh Bruh got to hang back!
Edit: Damn that narration was epic! "RIP brave little dog!" Gotta admit had the heart of a lion in a scrappy little dog body!
Just a natural survival instinct, sadly it was in vain.
the alpha male?
Well that scrappy little dog body is the body of the most successful hunters in the jungle/savanna lol
@@imthecaco Heard they have the highest successful rate of hunting compare to other predators
I love this dog...I have already commented but he deserves another! like the guys says at the end, rest in peace brave little dog!
To survive the bites of a full grown male lion( remember the sound of bone crushing) ain't easy. Rest in peace brave little dog
Show the animals not people, who care about people!
Big dog also have a problem if they meet a lion.
May he have suffered, and if I see one irl I'l kill it in front of you
GREAT COMPLETE VIDEO!! This team did a great job, and following plus showing the footage is as good as you could expect at this random lucky moment... and thank you uploader for the post.
Warrior, died on HIS terms.
Hardly.
Couldn't join the pack in hunts.
He couldn't even eat what the other dogs wanted to share with him.
Yah he did. Because he made it back so he wouldn't die alone. Some animals wonder off to die alone.
quando a caba os pet tem que paga vcs é jogá pros leão come SÓ que os leão come vcs eles morre des graça .😠💩
@@judgetk8327 some animals do not have a pack to go back to
@@LeeePowers I'd say he did. Rather than dying amongst lions, he got to die with his fam.
Yep, my wife is very violent and some times I just have to play dead to get her off me. Its all you can do at times.
The narration wasn't needed, but with it being so out-of-place, it was kinda funny.
3:15 "Was-that-his-last-breath?" lmao
Yeah , hilarious,........it had a high hullywood quotient ....I expected Eliot Ness to pop up....🕵🏼♂️
Kruger Sightings definitely makes progress.....
He had to have earned great respect from his pack as well as these guys (thanks, great video), what a smart survivor!
1:20 the lions are barely visible ducking into the grass, wow. "rest in peace, brave little dog"
Rest In Peace brave little 🐕
Wow! Incredible video and excellent narration!! What a story!! Rest in peace brave little dog!!😘
That dog was like....Not today ✌
czcams.com/channels/UOCvSqsi6GTwATMPWTEnyA.html
It died later tho
No nonsense footage...i like 👍 the presentation.. keep posting
Lolol
The way that dog took off, had me rolling.
@Mark Hepworth stfu
Dude the sound the male lion made when he submitted that dog is pure power.
3:35 that Lion took a major L. There's no coming back from that 😂😂
Dude the video was already narrated we don't need another recap lmao
How is that a major L.The dog died of its wounds eventually lol
The lion: Break dog's bones
The wild dog: bye bye back pain
All jokes aside, rip brave pup
3:47 his son was like really daddy I could’ve killed that dog myself......
Lmao
Incredible that he survived for months afterward.
@Association of Free People that's a 50/50 you just don't want, eaten alive or slow prolonged death. At 1st i thought better to be eaten, then i thought about the being alive part, now i can't decide if it was me what i would prefer. How much pain are we talking with the slow death? Lions have a tendency to eat rivals from the hind legs to prolong the suffering, can you imagine some animal eating your legs before getting to the vital organs.
(Disclaimer: I've smoked a fair amount of weed today so i am going pretty deep into the thought process. Lol)
He is alive till now
Who says it died???
Lion bites are designed to suffocate, not bleed or puncture skin.
With his/her Pack there he may have survived.
A tour guide has no idea which dog is which, could have easily been misidentified.
Not to doubt Kruger National Park staff, ive been twice!! Its the best...
But pshh, up to 40 Dogs in a Pack... "yep thats the one we saw a few months ago".
Uh ha... sure it is. 😅
Seen these dogs survive worse... either way is very possible.
(Outruns a Lion moments after the mauling, but dies months later to THOSE wounds????)
I dont buy it :)
Tried it on my wife. Did not go well as planned.
Me neither 😢🤣
🤣😂
lol,
You all stupid.😂
Don’t try this at home
Lions be like: who wants to eat when you got something to kill.
Sitting in an open car next to a group of lions for some photos. I think, it's a brilliant heroic idea.
Was wondering the same thing....they must have been high or smth....
@@razvan6989 , or just dumb idiots. Safari- tourists often act very recklessly. Regards from Germany and take care, Razvan :)
That's like raising your hands before you cross the finish line. Lion goofed up.
Wow the wild dog taught me to be tricky in the midst of the harsh life.
Although his efforts ended in death but at least he tried to maintain his honor.
Actually the park rangers can give a helping hand to that brave little wild dog by giving medication for it to recovered
@@TokinDope nevermind their tourist vehicles sometimes obstruct an area just so they can get a glimpse of the animals often resulting in missed catches or victims falling prey when they could have gotten away only to be encumbered by a vehicle vying for a better view.
3:23.....HEY, COME BACK HERE YOU MUDDA F............R!!!!!!"....😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣
2:42
No Wild Dog Ever:
Human: It’s STILL ALIVE bruh
Wild Dog: ffuuuuu-
He is the luckiest dog ever to survive the lion in the first place. Sad news that it passed away though.
Seriously?
3 months of painful struggle. So lucky!
Photographers are lucky to be at the top of the food chain!
😄👍
There will be regrets soon. As the lions become more comfortable around humans soon we will be part of their menu
@@jmala5772 I am sure that will happen soon enough hahahha. Roar lmao..
@@jmala5772 are you sure about that? My Carbine Rifle would like to have a word🤣
@@reatile you can't shoot them all fast enough. By the time you shoot the second you will be mince meat
This applies to a life before it’s final. The dog seemed strong enough to escape the lion, but it’s its last strength
What a wonderful story about both the beautiful and the ugly side of nature. Thank you for sharing. 💕
Are you calling the dogs ugly?
@@mnkash2007 yeah i am
@@softwareengineer9435 Nuke sight ready LAUNCH lol
That was some pretty rad footage !!
Dog did not out wit the lion... he just doesn't taste as good as the wilder beast. Good thing there was no catsup or hot sauce near the dog. 😂😂😂
0:36 you can see the Impala running at the background just above the head of the furthest lion back
Wild dogs are absolutely amazing! Smart team players!! All for one and one for all.
Yea but weak
how can these people sit in an open air vehicle and not become lion chow.
I always wonder that. I would never go out there like that. Fuck that.
You wear a mask 🤔Bam
Lions think of a jeep (with humans sat in it) as one giant, foul-smelling animal. Each human appears as an organ of the animal-jeep. But the moment a human steps off a jeep, it's a different story.
@@knagarjun Unless said humans have guns.
I believe the animals know it's death on board. The greatest hunter.
I've watched this a few times it never gets old
The movie Norbit: " It's still arrive.....It's still arrive!"
Now, Kruger is doing better with the commentaries and I like it.
Keep on keeping on 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
commentator spoke nonsense. lion was protecting cubs, not eliminating competition. nor did he need consoling - what garbage.
Hyena: Well-played 👏
African wild dogs/ painted wolves/cape hunting dogs. Not hyenas. They’re led by a dominant pair. Hyenas by a dominant female. Two complete different family dynamics:)
Wild dog. Only 120 in the park
@@chrisbellmara4934 if you actually read the comment the joke is the hyena is like "well played" as in the hyena respects what the dog went through and they both hate lions. Just explaining the joke since you didn't get it
We need more people supporting Painted Wolves and helping their existence known.
I support painted wolves 100%. They’re definitely a creature worthy of our protection. They’re my second favorite animal (beaten by the orca), and they’re so misunderstood.
@@allstarpterosaur850 Cheers
So true I fully agree we need to get the exposure out throughout the world about this
Amazing animals.
I completely agree!
Awesome escape.
What I dont understand is the fact that they are endangered and nothing was done to assist that dog in those months before he died. I know there are groups in that area that specialize in wounded animals. Its one thing to let nature take its course but another to wait 2 or so months while that dog suffers.. plenty of time to dart him, treat him while he is darted, put a tracker on him and release him. So much for conservation efforts
I don't get that either. If it was an animal that wasn't endangered? I get that. But these are endangered. And there's no reason to not help it out.
You're right... You don't understand. Conservation efforts are aimed at preserving habitats so that a species can survive and nature can run its course. It is not about saving individual animals, nor should it be, since resources are limited. We shouldn't turn the savanna into a zoo...
Agreed. There are times where human interference is necessary to save an endangered species. There are only 6,000 of these intelligent, social and caring beauties left in the wild...
Joddit I think if the species is endangered or close to extinction because of humans, it’s more than necessary..
@@TheEmperorOfBeasts What do you think vets would have been able to do to him. You're making the assumption, without any evidence that he would live happily ever after, even if we were to waste valuable resources on the individual which would likely be better spent on the species as a whole. Your 'argument' fails on all counts.
Yessss, the lion did a job on him 😂🤣😂, taste of his own medicine
Why is life so cruel
it's not. we all get EXACTLY what we deserve.
Poor dog. They're amazing creatures. Life in the wild is not easy.
@ and I love to see humans die more brutally than this 🐕 as they are the most violent top predator,sorry top pests in their own fucking domain.
@ Little Rico, you get the benefit of someone else doing it for you behind the scenes.
@@MrDa55555 and I’ll slap the shit out of you, call me little Rico to my face!!
@ It's ok little Rico
The people sitting in that open vehicle, chatting, giggling, and laughing.... the wild dog thought, oh, the party is that wa..... aaaahhhh..... stupid people lured me into an ambush! You'll pay for thi..... NM, I'm dying.
Great commentary
That bone crushing sound is terrifying
IMPALA GETS A TEMPORARY PASS
Incredible scene, that's nature
I swear the producers are setting these animals up
The reason you survive for two more months it clearly because of his buddy support
Wild dog: where is my Oscars and Golden Globe???
Notice how both the lions eyes glow as if their 'Kill Mode' turned on simultaneously! Badass! I feel bad for the dog though.
Bruh that came from the camera 😂 you’re a fool for that
@@demetrekingtv6309 Yes it came from sort of lighting! Like the vehicle,the sun or even the camera! I know their eyes don't turn on like some robot or something ya ding dong!
God bless all the animals and there smart strategy!!!!!
Touching commentary on nature's reality.
There is no reason to replay it again! We seen it the first time!!!!!
0:15 the dominant male is not ready to share
Dominant male: “NO”
Wrong neighbourhood my friend, wrong neighbourhood!
Damn brave dog i love wild dogs so sad for him rip
Great video!
Someone said "he recovered (from death)"
Yeah he rose again on the 3rd day, then later ascended to heaven.
Took off like a bullet to blootclaaaaaat hahahahaha
Damn. Lions are cruel 😂
Male lions are like psycho path killers. They will killednot only hyenas but their own kind like male lions ,lioness or baby cubs
Cruel is their middle name. XD
And dog eating other animal alive is what beautiful?
Rajendra amberkar I mean it's not like lions never do that? So...
Nature is cruel, the Lions are just along for the ride.
didn't knw wild dogs were that smart
Eu adoro ver os filmes
I tried to play knocked out once during the middle of a fight. Till the guy came and kicked me in the ribs. That really pissed me off, I got up and beat his ass !
We also do not taste batter. Pretty obvious from choosing others over us. Hahaha.
The camera team is to blame. They provided cover for the lions and deceived the dogs!
I don't think so. The dogs came up on the lions outside where the cars were parked, not from behind. The land rovers were not blocking the dogs' view ahead...they were just preoccupied with the impala. Happens all the time.
@@alanfoster6589 I've seen that, bat it's common knowledge that animals feel tourist cars are safe. that was fatal to the dogs..
Insane!!
This wild dog will not ne forgotten
I would not go near a wild lion in an open vehicle
Owesome clip...
You fooled us with that pool, man!!
Turn around lions Uber eats have brought some human food for you.
That’s the nature !!!
Ok, so lions can crush bones but why is their bite force 650 psi. And why many people believe it’s true
"Has to be comforted by his siblings" is probably the cringiest personification I've ever heard. That lion doesn't feel stupid for the dog getting away: it's a lion.
What really happened was he chased the competition away, came back and lions greet each other how they always do. Then he probably went to sleep.
@Pharaoh wild dogs aren't prey, they are competition. So killing or chasing them away is a win.
Fun fact: wild dogs are one of the most smart wild animals to exist, from hunting to surviving.
123 321 wild dogs aren’t actually dogs they’re their own species
123 321 No they’re not genetically the same, they are in two completely different genera. AWDs belong to the genus lycaon as apposed to domestic dogs which belong to canis. You can compare two completely different animals
He was full of adrenaline that is how he managed to bolt away.
It's just amazing how the lions decided to defend the Antelope!
Salute for that wild dog, give up is not an option even though they are way smaller than the lions, they can outwit the lions.
@dante inferno ~ dogs escape from lion attack 90+% of the time, the dogs are way quicker than lions, only occaisionally they get caught
Los licaones sn los perros más inteligentes do mundo.
Because of my poor eyesight(?), I didn't see the impala.... Almost no need to film the safari tourists, but footage itself is excellent. Thank you!
Why are humans in the car never going to be attacked by lions ?
I love Painted Dogs ! Love Wolves, love Dholes, love Dingoes....let's face it, I LOVE DOGS ! Brave little chap just wouldn't give up !
That tourists truck has no protection..heck no
