African wild dog

The African wild dog is a striking canine with patchy fur that looks like it's been painted. It roams the open lands below the Sahara and has teeth built for eating almost nothing but meat. Unlike other wild dogs, it's missing a claw that many canines have on their front legs.

• Its teeth are specially shaped for slicing through meat.
• It's the biggest wild dog species found in Africa.
• It doesn't have the small extra toe claw that most dogs have.
