The African wild dog is a striking animal, with its long legs, large round ears, and distinctive splotches of color. Unlike some other wild canids, the African wild dog has never successfully been domesticated. This is not an animal that could ever be kept as a pet; it is an animal that will always be wild.
African wild dogs are very social animals, much like wolves. They live in packs of around 20 members, with the pack being ruled by a breeding pair. The animals are constantly socializing with each other, and participate in fascinating and intricate communal hunting behavior.
