The Kruger National Park (KNP) is home to the last genetically viable, minimally managed population of African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus, wild dogs) in South Africa. Until 2004, this population remained stable, but since has been declining. In this study, we aimed to improve our understanding of the ecology of KNP wild dogs by estimating the relative contribution of different prey types to their diet across landscape types. Based on a Bayesian mixing model, we assessed wild dog diet and foraging preferences using stable isotope analysis. We sampled 73 individuals from 40 packs found in six different landscape types. In thickets, packs predominantly prey on small browsing and mixed-feeding species (accounting for ∼73% of their diet), but occasionally hunt large grazers (∼24%) and large browsers (∼3%). In open landscape types where lions (Panthera leo) are more or less absent, such as in the Lowveld sour bushveld, wild dogs prey on large browsers and large grazers (∼67%). Our results demonstrate that KNP wild dogs occupy a broader ecological niche than previously thought, with small browsers forming an integral part of their diet. We also present the first data describing differences in wild dog diet–tissue discrimination factors for tail hair and whiskers compared to respective stable nitrogen (δ15N) and carbon (δ13C) values obtained from feces of captive wild dogs, as well as from those of South Africa's broader managed metapopulation. While these data should be considered preliminary, we suggest that until wild dog diet–tissue discrimination factors are calculated through a controlled feeding study, the discrimination factors calculated for the gray wolf (Canis lupus) should be used for wild dog-related isotope studies, rather than the often cited values for red foxes (Vulpes vulpes).
