A groundbreaking study has confirmed that African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) have made the longest recorded journey by any terrestrial mammal in Africa, traversing over 1,000 kilometers across southern regions.
The remarkable migration was tracked through GPS collars on a pack of young adults from the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), who ventured from Namibia into Botswana and deep into Zimbabwe before settling in new territory. These animals, often forced to leave their natal packs in search of mates and breeding grounds, face extreme risks including vehicle collisions on major highways like the B4, encroaching human settlements, and lethal wire snares set for bushmeat.
