African Wild Dog is middle sized genus of canine found transversely sub-Saharan Africa. African Wild Dog is mainly without difficulty identified from both family and other wild Dogs by their brilliantly mottled fur, with its name in Latin aptly meaning painted wolf.

African Wild Dog is said to be the friendliest of all the canines, living in groups of around 30 individuals. Unhappily however, this extremely intelligent and friendly mammal is sternly under danger in much of its normal habitat, mainly due to habitat loss and having been hunted by human being.
