Hence they have earned a well-deserved reputation for being efficient, indefatigable hunters who will disembowel prey in a matter of minutes, before lions or hyenas get a chance to move in. Yet, less known about them is the fact that the sick and wounded, together with the young members of the pack, are looked after, fed on regurgitated food and nursed back to health. Painted hunting dogs, also known as Cape hunting dogs or African wild dogs, so named for their individual and elaborate skin markings, were some of the most maligned of Africa’s predators.

Campus Business Sports Nature/Resources ... Students Montana State University Communications Services Predators, Not Humans, Are Greatest Threat to Endangered African Wild Dogs by Annette Trinity-Stevens and Evelyn Boswell June 14, 2000 BOZEMANAfrican wild dogs have more to lose from a pride of lions or a pack of spotted hyenas than they do from humans encroaching on their habitat, according a behavioral ecologist at Montana State University-Bozeman who spent seven years studying the rare dogs. In protected areas of Africa, the density of the endangered dogs goes down as that of large carnivores goes up, according to Scott Creel, who presented his findings June 10 at the Society of Conservation Biology annual meeting in Missoula. Creel believes that finding should serve as a warning to conservation officials interested in reintroducing dogs to parks already dense in larger carnivores. Even in an apparently suitable ecosystem, the dogs may suffer if the numbers of competing carnivores is too high. "Although human impacts on large carnivores can be strong even in large African protected areas, there is little evidence that cheetahs and wild dogs are disproportionately affected by humans," Creel wrote in his conference abstract.

Civet Serval Leopard Lion ... Ratel or Honey Badger Wild Dog or Cape Hunting Dog: Lycaon pictus (Endangered) Characteristics Weight and Height males/females: wt 44-55 lb (20-25 kg), ht 24-30 in (60-75 cm) Color Wild dogs are typically tricolored: black, white, and tan with tan patches developing within black areas. General Locations The wild dog could be found all over the Northern and Southern Savanna, however persecution, disease, and reduction of habitats has caused the population of wild dog to drastically decrease. The wild dog must also be able to find abundant sources of prey, which typically weigh 30 to 100 lb (14-45 kg). The wild dog can go without water for long intervals if necessary, as long as the food eaten is very moist. Wild dog can be found in the following National Parks and Reserves: Serengeti and Mikumi NP, Tanzania; Masai Mara NR, Kenya; Hwange NP, Zimbabwe; Moremi GR, Botswana; Kruger NP, South Africa. Activity The wild dog is considered diurnal, but has also been known to hunt or travel during the night hours. On average, a pack will travel 6 mi (10 km) in one day while in search of food. In some cases, if food is scarce, a pack will travel for 2 or 3 days, traveling 25 mi (40 km) each day to find a new home range. Social Systems Researchers have found the fact that wild dogs are endangered to be quite shocking because wild dogs are the most successful hunters and have the largest litters of any mammal (often pushing 18 pups/litter). In some cases, rabies and distemper will wipe out an entire pack which is often as many as 20 wild dogs. It is possible, to have as many as 40 or even 60 members in a pack, however the average is 10.

African Wild Dog Lycaon pictus Endangered Although similar in appearance to hyenas, African wild dogs are nevertheless true wild canidae. They are a mixture of black, yellow, and white in such a wide variety of patterns that no two individuals look exactly alike. African wild dogs are widely distributed across the African plains but they do not live in jungle areas. They are social animals, living in packs of usually from 2 to 45 individuals. A hierarchy exists within the pack, but the animals are so friendly to one another that the pecking order is hard to determine. The young and the infirm are given special privileges within the pack. African wild dogs use their sense of sight, not smell, to find their prey. They pay no attention to wind direction and they do not use cover when approaching their prey. They can run up to 55 km/h for several kilometres. In eastern Africa, they mostly hunt Thomson’s gazelles, but they will also attack calves, warthogs, zebras, impalas, and the young of large antelopes such as the gnu. Growing human populations have decreased or degraded the African wild dog’s habitat and also diminished their available prey. Road kill and human persecution have also had a negative impact on African wild dog populations. This species is also susceptible to a variety of diseases such as distemper, which is controlled in domestic dogs. Conservation of the African wild dog’s natural habitat must have the highest priority, as these dogs suffer in habitats modified by human intrusion.

34. Executive Summary Of CSG's African Wild Dog Action Plan wild dogs have disappeared from 25 of the 39 countries in which they were will therefore benefit wild dogs even more than other endangered species. http://www.canids.org/PUBLICAT/AWDACTPL/execsumm.htm

The IUCN/SSC Canid Specialist Group's African Wild Dog Status Survey and Action Plan (1997) Executive Summary Populations of the African wild dog ( Lycaon pictus ) have declined dramatically over the past 30 years. Wild dogs have disappeared from 25 of the 39 countries in which they were formerly recorded, and only six populations are believed to number more than 100 animals. Between 3,000 and 5,500 wild dogs, in perhaps 600-1,000 packs, remain in total. Most of these are in southern and eastern Africa; only small remnant populations remain in West and central Africa. Wild Dogs as Indicators Wild dogs are uniquely susceptible to habitat fragmentation. A resident breeding population may therefore provide a "gold standard" indicating excellent local management of wildlife. Wild dogs' recent decline reflects the expansion of human populations in Africa and the associated fragmentation of habitat available to wildlife: Wild dogs range widely, so that even those inhabiting protected areas often contact human activity on reserve borders. Over half the wild dogs found dead in protected areas have been shot, snared, poisoned, killed by road traffic or infected with diseases by domestic dogs outside the reserve.

35. Colong Foundation For Wilderness Current wild dogs management in NSW aims to protect Dingoes in their core of wild dog control and dingo management that offer hope for the endangered http://www.colongwilderness.org.au/Dingo/Dingopage.htm

The Colong Foundation for Wilderness Dingo? Friend or Foe? Current wild dogs management in NSW aims to protect Dingoes in their core habitat areas. But, as the Regulatory Review Committee of the NSW Parliament recently noted, “it is however anomalous that the main NSW initiative to conserve existing Dingo populations is being undertaken under an Act that will classify them, statewide, as a pest requiring eradication.” This intended protection program will be through plans developed by Rural Lands Protection Boards that are concerned with stock losses, not Dingo conservation. Aggressive eradication of wild dogs and tokenistic conservation efforts are not going to reverse the extinction of the Dingo, which is primarily caused by interbreeding with feral dogs. Meanwhile, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is conducting lethal experiments on endangered Quolls in the wilderness areas of Kosciuszko to justify its wild dog management to farmer critics and is preparing environmental studies to support its aerial 1080 poison baiting programs in the parks of northern NSW.

For more information, send e-mail to permissions@pupress.princeton.edu This file is also available in Adobe Acrobat PDF format Chapter 1 HISTORY AND NATURAL HISTORY The scientific name of the African wild dog ( Lycaon pictus ) means painted wolf, a reference to their patchwork coats of brown, black, and white, which Angier (1996) aptly called "a furred version of combat fatigues." Their shape follows the general canid body plan, with modifications accumulated over 3 million years of divergence from the rest of the dog family. For example, wild dogs have only four toes, having lost the fifth toe that persists as a vestigial dewclaw in most canids. Compared to wolves or coyotes, they are lean and tall, with outsized ears that complement their quiet vocalizations. Altogether, the wild dog is a unique and beautiful animal (Figure 1.1). Wild dogs stand 65 to 75 cm at the shoulder, and weigh from 18 to 28 kilograms (Smithers 1983). Though they have been described as sexually monomorphic (Malcolm 1979; Girman et al. 1993), males are from 3-7 percent larger than females in linear measures of body size (Table 2.3). The original suggestion that wild dogs are monomorphic was probably based on measurements of body mass, which is extremely variable, because a hungry wild dog can consume 8-9 kg of meat (about 1/3 of its own weight).

Conservation and Behavior of African Wild Dogs in Zambia During the last century, wild dogs have suffered a precipitous decline as a result of habitat fragmentation and deliberate extermination. African wild dogs Lycaon pictus , which live in cooperative family groups, are one of the most endangered large carnivores on the African continent. During the last century, wild dogs have suffered a precipitous decline as a result of habitat fragmentation and deliberate extermination, with less than 5,000 individuals remaining in the wild today. To assist in the conservation and management of wild dog populations, the Behavioral Biology Division of the San Diego Zoo's CRES has partnered with the Zambia Wildlife Authority. Millennium Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Anne Carlson has confirmed the presence of more than ten packs of wild dogs in Kafue National Park, and is currently studying their population dynamics, movement patterns, social behavior, genetics, and disease ecology in order to provide key information to guide conservation efforts. The goal is to link to ecosystem conservation efforts in Zambia by providing critical information on the life history of wild dogs. As part of efforts to evaluate the intensity of competition among large carnivores, Dr. Carlson and her team are also investigating the population dynamics and prey preferences of

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) endangered by a canine distemper epizootic among domestic dogs near the Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya KA Alexander and MJ Appel ABSTRACT A longitudinal study of canine distemper (CD) among domestic dogs on Malsai communal land to the north of the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya was conducted from 1989 to 1991. Prevalence of antibodies to CD was very low among domestic dogs in 1989 and 1990 (4%, n = 49; and 1%, n = 119, respectively) and no African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus; n = 16) collected simultaneously from the same area had detectable antibodies. Among 51 domestic dogs sampled in 1991, however, prevalence of CD antibodies rose significantly (P < 0.01) to 76%. Disease-related mortality rates among domestic dogs were estimated from 1990 to 1992; they rose significantly (P

Statistics Body length: 75-100cm, Tail length: 30-40cm, Standing height: 61-78cm, Weight: 17-36kg. Physical Description Wild dogs have a dark brown coat, which is mottled with brown, black and yellow patches. Each individual has unique markings, rather like fingerprints in humans. The markings may help the dogs to blend in with the pack, so that prey species can not determine how many dogs are in the pack. They have long legs, and a short, powerful muzzle. Distribution Wild dogs live in Africa, south of the Sahara to South Africa, except for the rainforest of West and Central Africa. They have been lost from much of their original range. Habitat Their preferred habitat is savannah, plains, swamps, semi desert and mountains of up to 3,000m.
