Description: At full stride, an uncropped photo at dusk, when the pack in South Africa comes alive from a day of rest and weaves through the bush at full tilt, like a sudden breeze that surrounds you and then slips through the trees to disappear in the blink of an eye. They run at 65 km/hr to exhaust their prey, and they rarely fail (with a 90% success rate versus 30% for lions). They just keep running until the prey is caught. No two have the same coat pattern. The tail serves as a flag so each can keep a peripheral view of the rest of the pack in the tall grass.
