Pack of Wild Dogs in Zambia Travels 4,000 Kilometers in Search of Mate
A pack of African wild dogs in Zambia traveled 4,000 kilometers seeking a mate, the longest distance recorded for an African land animal, according to BBC on 2026-09-15. Scientists tracked three brothers with GPS, noting they zigzagged to avoid populated areas, unlike other dogs that died in illegal traps. A group of three sisters also traveled far, but stopped after one died. The study, published in Ecology, suggests eastern and southern African wild dog populations are more connected than previously thought, highlighting the need for wildlife corridors.
