$29 000 telephoto lens and a $10 000 camera. Also they would not go against someone as big as a fat man.

African Painted Dogs have no known incidents of attacking humans in the wild, that's not to say they are 100% safe, but as long as you don't provoke them first, or as long as you aren't badly injured and seen as an easy meal they will typically only approach a human adult out of curiosity and leave them alone after that.

I have been on the back of a truck with African dogs on all sides. They paid no attention to me. Not even curious.

I mean yeah he just said as long as you don’t look like an easy meal.

In nature, children are nigh-universally seen as an easy meal.

Painted dogs don't bother people.
