[reldditmot]

@mamushi72sai5575 That's how we speak in England, never considered it cool before..

[mamushi72sai5575]

@reldditmot well if it is your accent you would consider it normal, right?

They got a bad rap because they hunt mostly during the day, so observers thought of them as more "vicious" and "cruel" than other predators.

They're also called Painted Wolves, and their high kill rate is due to their intelligence and very cooperative hunting methods. There are a few videos around of them hunting together and it's amazing to watch - very quick, fluid, and reactive. Gorgeous animals.

Great hunters , they have the highest kill rate of all animals- saw it on Discovery
