the death zone

the african bush is a very dangerous place.

many big predators live there.

the african wild dog ( lycaon pictus ) also called "painted dog" is maybe the most efficent predator in the whole africa.

they hunt in packs with a very high rate of success.

these endangered dogs have a body weight of 25/30kgs and of course they cannot beat an adult buffalo.

here just casually a wild dog stopped near the skull of a big buffalo maybe killed from lions.

the shot is made under a mistly and drizzling rain, isos very high but i think a very original shot
