African Wild Dogs Hunt Near Glacial Stream

A pack of African wild dogs crouches in low grass beside a rushing glacial stream. Their mottled coats of black, tan, and white blend with the dry earth under heavy overcast skies. The cool season light remains bright yet diffuse, casting soft shadows across their lean bodies. Each dog holds a patient, predatory stillness, eyes fixed on an unseen target beyond the frame. Water churns over gray rocks in the foreground, while the background melts into a blur of green and brown vegetation. The texture of wet fur contrasts with the smooth, flowing water. One paw rests on a damp stone.
