The African Wild dog (lycaon puctus) is a carnivore of the canine family. It is native to Africa and likes scrub biome area. It is a dog with the colors of the calico cat; black, caramel, and creamy white. Their pattern is quite unique and I don't really know how to describe it.

HUNTING AND DIET
The African wild dogs hunt in packs, or small groups with the dominant female usually leading the way. They hunt impala and other mammals. They are not scavengers and are incredible hunters and are quite active in the wild.

SUBSPECIES

• Lycaon pictus pictus
• Lycaon pictus lupinus
• Lycaon pictus manguensis
• Lycaon pictus sharicus
• Lycaon pictus somalicus

Sadly, I couldn't find out much about the subspecies, but I know there is an Asiatic Wild dog, but that is for another post.

Characteristics
African Wild Dogs have some defining characteristics like their pattern, and their large ears. The ears look a lot like over-large furrier mouse ears with different colors than a mouse's
