Love the intensity in the eyes here Eric!
Not so sure about the teeth though Karl, the older dogs seem to have white fangs for grabbing.

Terrific low angle shots! Love wild dog shots. 125mm, 155mm, 200mm, that's close! Got my vote.

Terrific set! Incredible that you actually saw and got great photos of the kill, usually the dogs are SO fast and agile that you only get there afterwards! I'll hope for similar luck next month in Bots.

Karl

Thanks Karl for your kind words and support. They do have canines but interestingly their teeth are different than domestic dogs...their evolutionary branch on the Canid tree veered off from man's best friend millions of years ago.

I was very lucky and had a great guide that got us there as the take down occurred.....fortunately the prey goes into shock quickly and death follows within a minute.....and then the prey item is consumed in totality within 5-10 minutes.

Thanks Marcy, there was no threat to life and limb as there's never been a recorded attack of African Wild Dogs on humans.
