The African Hunting Dog (Lycaon Pictus) is a mammal of the Canidae family so it is related to the domestic dog. It is the only species in its genus – Lycaon. As their name indicates, they can only be found in Africa, mostly in scrub savanna as well as other lightly wooded areas. These dogs hunt in packs and their main pray are the impala and other similar medium-sized ungulates. These dogs are quite popular for their stamina as well as for being very clever hunters.
These dogs have been observed hunting prey in relays, or even blocking, a what might be a potential escape route for the unfortunate prey. Their voice is quite unique as it is characterized by an unusual chirping/squeaking sound. The reason why today this breed is almost extinct is their need for a large territory. Also, they are quite vulnerable to attacks by their direct competitors, hyenas and lions mainly because of their relatively small physique. Unlike other members of the dog family, the African Hunting Dog is difficult to tame.
These dogs are known for having a highly complex social system, within which related adult members cooperate to produce a single litter of pups annually. Most of the remaining populations have more males than females because more male dogs appear in litters (it is quite unusual among mammals to have this kind of gender bias). The dog will often regurgitate meat to other members of the group: the young, older dogs as well as adults that have stayed behind in order to guard the young during hunting sojourns.
The approximate number of the remaining African Hunting Dogs is about 5,600. The majority of this number live in the two remaining large populations associated with the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania and the population found in Northern Botswana and Eastern Namibia. There are isolated populations that live in Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
These dogs reproduce at any time of the year, although their mating peaks between March & June. The litters can contain from two up to 19 pups. The time elapsed between birth is usually 12 to 14 months although cases in which the period was only 6 months have been found. The average gestation period is about 70 days and the pups are born in most cases in an abandoned den bug by other animals such as those of the Aardvark.
Weaning takes place at approximately 10 weeks and after 3 months the den is abandoned and the pups are starting to run with the pack. At the age of 8 months, they have the ability to kill small-sized prey but they reach full efficiency at 14 months or so (at this point, they can feed themselves). Sexual maturity is reached at the age of 14-18 months.
In conclusion, the African Hunting Dog is quite an interesting hunting breed but unfortunately at the verge of extinction. We strongly hope that this breed (as well as other breeds in this dangerous position) will save itself from extermination.
