Nick Lyon, Producer-Director of BBC Earth's Painted Wolf, and Nick Dyer, Founder of Painted Wolf Foundation, and the photographer behind "Painted Wolves - A Wild Dog's Life", discuss their years following Tait and Blacktip's packs.

Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to work on wildlife programmes like Planet Earth, Blue Planet, or Dynasties? Getting to see the animals up close, and make new discoveries about them?

Newsround has been speaking to the producer of the latest episode of Dynasties 'Painted Wolves' to find out what's it's really like.

Nick Lyon and his BBC film crew have spent four years tracking and filming these special animals in Zimbabwe.

"Painted Wolves", one episode in the Dynasties series narrated by David Attenborough, follows the story of a family of African wild dogs as they battle a rival pack for territory and food on a wide floodplain along the Zambezi River.

The episode is an epic production in every way. During long periods on location, the crew heard and saw animal behaviour that had never been witnessed before. But to capture that they had to endure punishing heat and humidity, lashing thunderstorms in the rainy season and days that stretched into weeks when they had not one sighting of the dogs.

The latest Sir David Attenborough-narrated BBC Natural History Unit Landmark Series is called Dynasties, and it tracks power struggles within animal groups. We talk to Nick Lyon, the producer of an episode about Zimbabwe’s Painted Wolves, to see how he captured an incredible fight for dominance in the wild.
