Text Appearing After Image:
HYAENA DOG. The slender, long limbed animal in the picture, sometimes also called the Cape Hunting Dog, is the representative of a distinct sub-order of the Wolf species. As will be seen from the picture, it is hand- somely marked, has long Hound-like limbs, a tail with a bushy tip, and a form that suggests both agility and Strength, qualities that are requisite to the tracking of the Antelope, which is the favorite prey of these wild Dogs.

The African wild dog (Lycaon pictus), also known as African hunting dog, African painted dog, Cape hunting dog or painted wolf, 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. The majority of the species' population now occurs in Southern Africa and southern East Africa. |
