Learn about: African painted dogs!
Hands up if you love painted dogs! 🙋🏻♀️
Painted dogs are endangered wild dogs (also known as African painted dogs or African wild dogs) that are only found in Africa! At the moment They're often confused for hyenas but are more closely related to jackals and wolves (hyenas are more closely related to cats!).
Painted dogs live in packs of up to 30 individuals and are thought to be one of the most successful hunters in Africa with 80% of their hunts resulting in a kill!
According to the IUCN Red list there was only 1,400 mature painted dogs in 2012 but there's a lot of love for these gorgeous animals so hopefully their numbers will be on the rise!
