African Wild dogs

In a world of promiscuity among the weaker and younger members of an African wild dog pack, the Alpha male and female (both leaders of the gang) always remain loyal to one another. At the start of the breeding season the pair suspends their normal wonderings and settle down in a quiet secluded spot. Often using abandoned aardvark nests, they await for the birth of their pups after a gestation period of seventy days. Here the parents remain faithful to their young, weaning them for ten weeks before moving on to the bigger grounds of Africa.
