Painted in blotches of black, gold and white, African wild dogs range the savanna in tight packs. Long legs and satellite-dish ears keep them cool during daylight chases of antelope. Fewer than 7 000 remain; snares, roads and canine disease are slicing up their range.

Habitat: The Wild Dog can be found in Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina-faso, Central-african-rep, Chad, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Senegal, South-africa, S-sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe
