African Wild Dog
Lycaon pictus
African wild dogs inhabit African savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands. They are highly active carnivores that pursue medium-sized ungulates over long distances, relying on endurance and sharp jaws. Their diet is mainly fresh meat, including antelope and other small to medium prey. Each individual has a unique patchwork coat pattern and large rounded ears that help shed heat.
