Zawadi
African Wild Hunting Dog

2022

About the Item

African Wild Hunting Dog – With an impressive 80 percent success rate, wild dogs are among Africa’s most effective predators. Lions only prevail around 30 percent of the time. Even with their finely honed hunting skills, they are one of the world’s most endangered large carnivores. Like satellite dishes, the large rounded ears of African wild dogs swivel to detect minute sounds in the distance. These dogs have only 4 toes as they lack the 5th dew claw that other dogs have. With Zawadi’s eye for detail, this is clearly shown in our sculpture. To see these beautiful animals in the wild is a true privilege and a special treat.

  • Bronze Elephant sculpture
    Located in Knysna, ZA
    Elephants are smart, emotional, self-aware, and highly social creatures. Elephants will walk at the pace of their slowest member, with infants surrounded by nurturing members of the herd, and their young babies are always protected from the elements, like the wind, rain, and sun. They are known for their incredible memory. Matriarchs will remember the trails and watering holes and how to navigate the seasons, all knowledge handed down by their ancestors for generations, and knowledge so vital for their survival.
