The African hunting dog is a canid native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is the largest indigenous canid in Africa, and the only extant member of the genus Lycaon, which is distinguished from Canis by dentition highly specialized for a hyper carnivorous diet, and a lack of dewclaws.
African hunting dog is a highly social animal, living in packs with separate dominance hierarchies for males and females.
The young are allowed to feed first on carcasses. African hunting dog is a specialized diurnal hunter of antelopes, which it catches by chasing them to exhaustion.
