Three brothers walked 4,126 km for their own place — no split of the deposit, no group chat with 47 new flatmates.

Three Wild Dogs Walk 4,126 km Across Zambia, Setting African Mammal Record

Three littermates called the Mayukuyuku males left their pack in Zambia's Kafue National Park in mid-2025 and covered 4,126 km (2,564 mi) over nine months, heading east, north past Kitwe and Ndola, then east to a game management area between South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi. Researchers led by the Zambian Carnivore Programme's Matt Becker, tracking 19 wild dog groups with GPS collars, call it the longest recorded dispersal by an African wild dog and the longest African mammal movement on record. The team believes the trio has established a range but has not yet counted the dogs with them.
