1. The African wild dog, also called Cape hunting dog or painted dog,
typically wonders the open plains and various woodlands of sub-
Saharan Africa.
2. These long-legged canines have only four toes per foot, unlike
other dogs which have five toes on their forefeet. The dog's
Latin name means "painted wolf", referring to the animal's
irregular, mottled coat, which features patches of red, black,
brown, white, and yellow fur. Each animal has its own unique coat
pattern, and all have big, rounded ears. Their physical appearance
is charming and attractive.
3. African wild dogs live in packs that are usually dominated by a
monogamous breeding pair. The female has a litter of 2 to 20
pups, which are cared for by the entire pack. These dogs are
very social, and packs have been known to share food and to
assist weak or ill members. Social interactions are common, and
the dogs communicate by touch, actions, and vocalizations.
4. African wild dogs hunt in formidable, cooperative packs of 6 to
20 animals. Larger packs were more common before the dogs
became endangered. Packs hunt antelopes and will also lung much
larger prey, such as wildebeests, particularly if their hooves are
ill or injured. The dogs supplement their diet with rodents and
birds. As human settlements expand, the dogs have sometimes
developed a taste for sheep, though significant damage is rare.
Unfortunately, they are often hunted and killed by farmers who
fear for their domestic animals.
5. African hunting dogs are endangered. They are also quite
sensitive to diseases spread by domestic animals.
