The painted 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. These dogs have many names such as the African wild dog, cape hunting dog, painted hunting dog, painted Lycaon dog and painted wolf.
The African wild dog is a wild canine from Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the largest wild canine on the continent. Its special teeth fit a strict meat diet, and the legs completely lack dew claws.
About 6,600 live across 39 small populations today. Habitat loss, human conflict, and deadly diseases threaten these remaining groups. The largest single group has fewer than 250 dogs. Because of these low numbers, the species remains listed as endangered.
These animals hunt hoofed mammals mostly during dawn and dusk. They use incredible stamina and teamwork to tire out their prey. Lions and spotted hyenas compete with them for food. Lions will kill the does, while hyenas often steal their fresh meat.
Adult dogs throw up food to feed their young pups. They also share food this way with other adults to strengthen the pack. The young pups always get to eat first at a fresh kill.
