About the Wild Dog
The African wild dog is a highly social African carnivore recognised by its large rounded ears, long legs and unique coat pattern of irregular black, brown, yellow and white patches. It lives in packs dominated by a breeding pair and is one of Africa's most specialised cooperative hunters. Wild dogs hunt mainly medium-sized antelope but can pursue a wide range of prey, working together to exhaust and isolate their target. Packs communicate constantly and care cooperatively for pups and injured members.
