From the data provided in the given passage it can be concluded that-The study that shows that African Wild Dogs catch about sixteen percent of their prey and do not use teamwork in hunting is true.
According to books, papers and television shows who created an ultimate predator image of African Wild Dogs, the dogs' coordinated teamwork and their unusual endurance helped them catch about eighty percent of their prey.
But this idea was challenged when there was a study conducted in 2012 to justify the clarity of the notion.
In the study, researchers had fit a pack of wild dogs with special collars that recorded the dogs' positions and speeds. The data collected by the collars gave the researchers a window into the activities that the dogs engaged in when they weren't being watched. The outcomes were a startling contrast to how viciously known the dogs were.
The dogs never used teamwork in their hunts rather they chased their prey over short distances as opposed to long runs. So instead of eighty percent, they brought down only about sixteen percent of their prey.
So, the main idea of the passage is clarification and modification of already recorded events and bringing out the main truth about African Wild Dogs.
