African Wild Dogs

African Wild Dogs are neither wolves nor dogs, despite their common English names, and the fact that their scientific name, Lycaeon pictus, translates to 'painted wolf'. African wild dogs are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to a range of factors including habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, being caught in snares as bycatch by poachers hunting for bushmeat, and infectious diseases like canine distemper and rabies. Currently, there are fewer 6,000 individuals are left in the wild, forming fewer than 700 packs.
