Name: African Wild Dog
Scientific name: Lycaon pictus
Range: South Africa and east of Sahara
Habitat: Grasslands, Savannas, and Woodlands
Status: Endangered
Diet: Warthogs, zebras, water bugs, ostriches, rhinos, Grants Gazelle, elephants
Physical description: Wild dogs have a canine body shape like a wolf's, but they have larger, bat like ears and white tipped tails. They have splotches of black, yellow, white, and dark brown, with no two dogs marked exactly the same.
General information: Wild dogs have a highly developed social structure. They live in packs that vary from 10 to 15 animals, including males, females, and young. Their packs are nomadic, and they roam across a range of 1 to 30 miles a day. Members of the pack cooperate when hunting and raising their young. Normally, only the highest ranking male and female breed. However, other pack members help protect and raise the pups. Wild dogs greet one another through vocalizations, body posture, and licking. They have a ritualized midday greeting ceremony of squeaking and thrusting their muzzles into one anther's faces. Wild dogs are vulnerable to the diseases of domestic dogs from nearby human communities. They are also threatened by ranchers and trophy hunters.
Special anatomical, physiological or behavioral adaptations: Wild dogs have developed incredible speed and endurance for attacking prey. They have been clocked at running 37 miles per hour for distances over 3 miles. They also have specialized, large, bat like ears that allow for excellent auditory ability used for hunting and ritual ceremonies.
