Description
Scott Creel and co-authors follow African wild dogs that leave their pack and travel far, linking lands that sit far apart. Wild dogs live in packs where one pair of each sex does most of the breeding. Young adults must choose: stay and help kin, or leave to seek a chance to breed.
The account centers on a three-year-old female who left a pack in Zambia's South Luangwa park in October 2021 with two sisters from her litter. Young dogs of two or three years leave most often, above all when a large same-sex group comes of age at once. Bigger groups hunt better and can more easily take over a new range.
