A series of remarkable photographs set to be published in a new book show the softer side of Africa's wild dog, often known as the continent's most successful hunter.
The stunning snaps show the affectionate side of the wild dog - which is known locally as a painted wolf - as they hunt together through the African plains and stare straight down the camera lens.
Among the photo set are wild dogs affectionately nudging each others heads, a group of pups relaxing together and a pair of the animals sharing a joyful greeting. (Daily Mail)
