Happy weekend:)

The African wild dog (Lycaon pictus), also known as the painted hunting dog,[2] painted wolf,[3] African hunting dog,[4] Cape hunting dog or African painted dog,[5][6] is a canid native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is the largest of its family in Africa, and the only extant member of the genus Lycaon, which is distinguished from Canis by dentition highly specialised for a hypercarnivorous diet, and a lack of dewclaws. It was classified as endangered by the IUCN in 2016, as it had disappeared from much of its original range. The decline of these populations is ongoing, due to habitat fragmentation, human persecution and disease outbreaks.[1]
