On hot days, African wild dogs are usually hidden in cool underground nests. Sometimes it was a large group of African wild dogs, divided into small groups, lying in pairs under the shade of some lonely trees. If some african wild dog is hungry and wants to hunt, it will stand up, go to the others one by one, wake them up, let them also stand up, and follow it to the antelope that is grazing not far away. If it fails to make the whole group stand up, these individual zealots will calmly return to their places, and none of them will go hunting alone.
