Wild dogs struggle to hunt in rising heat


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Rising temperatures are making it too hot for African wild dogs to hunt and the number of their pups that survive is plummeting, according to a new study. The research is among the first to show a direct impact of increased heat on wildlife that appears well adapted to high temperatures.

There are only 7,000 African wild dogs left in the wild and they have lost 93% of their historic ranges to humans. Research earlier in July suggested that a “biological annihilation” of wildlife in recent decades means a sixth mass extinction in Earth’s history is already under way.

Sometimes it gets so hot (we don't have air-conditioning in our school) that you struggle to teach. You and the kids wanna.fall asleep! So I feel for the dogs that have to exert themselves.
