First comment 😅
First time seeing a wild hunter survive with 3 legs
They act better than humans
God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who… Understands
Flint’s strength is incredible. Even with three legs, the way he keeps moving, adapting, and surviving shows a level of resilience you rarely see in the wild. Moments like this remind us how much courage lives in even the smallest creatures.
Poachers all need to be SEVERELY punished, no mercy for them. And the people paying these poachers/the ones who desire animal body parts need to be SEVERLY punished as well/imprisoned forever or capitol punishment. 😡
The first part broke my heart.. the second one healed more than what it broke.. ❤
So Cute ☺️
Definitely the most beautiful Canine on the planet. There also an African Wild Dog at the Denver Zoo in Colorado named Nigel who has three legs too.
wow
Such a powerful and emotional story. Flint’s resilience is incredible.
If humanity was only like them….
Thanks! ❤❤❤❤❤

Flint should be remembered. A video dedicated to him is a fine gesture, especially toward a very misunderstood species.
Great story but now that someone said he died. I'm not watching.
"Flint's story is incredibly moving. It’s amazing to see such strong evidence of empathy and care in the animal kingdom, with the whole pack slowing down [01:38] and sharing their kill just to ensure Flint survives and recovers. This truly showcases the power of their social bonds and why they are such a fascinating species. Thank you, BBC Earth, for sharing this intimate look at their pack life!"
Fun fact: Wild Dogs aka Painted Dogs are way better than humans in every way. They are even smarter than those toxic people in the comments.
Wild Dogs aka Painted Dogs are so misunderstood and hated. It is us humans who are the worst. The dogs have proven that we are more cruel and evil than any other animal. We all need to grow up and think hard about it.
Wild Dogs aka Painted Dogs are beautiful, cute and adorable. They are so sweet, kind and caring while humans including those toxic people in the comments are so cruel and evil.
