African wild dogs test the 'survival of the fittest' paradigm.

Alistair Pole1, Iain J Gordon, Martyn L Gorman.   

Abstract

Charles Darwin first used the term 'survival of the fittest' in the 5th edition of The origin of species. A literal interpretation implies that predators will selectively prey upon the weakest members of a population. We demonstrate that this is true for African wild dogs hunting impala.
