非洲野狗群完成了横跨赞比亚、打破纪录的2485英里(4000公里)的旅程。\n\n科学家表示,这是有记录以来非洲陆生哺乳动物为寻找配偶而走的最远距离,这为野生动物尽管面临日益增长的人类压力仍能长途跋涉带来了希望。\n\n这三只雄性非洲野狗在赞比亚境内呈之字形穿行,穿越了一个日益受人类影响的景观,并避开了包括大城市在内的种种障碍。\n\n然而,在这项研究中,其他佩戴GPS项圈追踪的野狗死于非法套索,这凸显了它们面临的危险。\n\n三只雌性野狗几乎完成了一场同样史诗般的旅程,但在其中一只被套索困住后停了下来。\n\n非洲野狗是非洲最稀有的掠食动物之一,野外仅存约6000只。
Wild dogs defy the odds with record 2,500-mile trek across Africa

A pack of African wild dogs has completed a record-breaking 2,485-mile (4000km) journey across Zambia.
Scientists say it is the furthest recorded distance for any African land mammal searching for a mate, offering hope that wildlife can travel across vast distances despite growing human pressures.
The three brothers zigzagged across Zambia, navigating a landscape increasingly shaped by people and avoiding obstacles including major cities.
However, other wild dogs tracked with GPS collars in the study died in illegal snares, underlining the dangers they face.

Three sisters almost completed an equally epic journey, but stopped when one became trapped in a snare.
African wild dogs are among Africa's rarest predators, with only about 6,000 remaining in the wild.
