WATCH | Wild dogs drag warthog out of pond

This warthog thought it could take a relaxing bath in a pond, but a pack of hungry wild dogs had other ideas.

Private Safari Guide, Rudi Venter, told Latestsightings.com said they were observing a pack of wild dogs resting in front of the lodge's waterhole when two warthogs approached. 

"That's when the wild dogs went quiet and they had their ears flat to the ground waiting for the warthogs to get closer," Venter said.

The warthogs suddenly realised they were not alone, but it was too late as the pack pounced, surrounding the younger of the two. The little warthog tried to escape the pack by running into the water, but it was too late.

"It was mother-nature in her most true form playing out of in front of us. Something that we do not get to witness every day and yet it forms the full circle in nature. Such a sighting can be very hard to watch, especially for those who are sensitive to kills,"  Venter said.
