HUNTING DOG (Lycaon pictus)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 949 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HUNTING DOG (Lycaon pictus) , an
African
  wild dog, differing from the rest of the family in having only four toes on each foot, and its blotched coloration of ochery yellow, black and white. The species is nearly as large as a mastiff, with
long
  li' bs, broad
Cape
Hunting
  Dog (Lycaon pictus).
flat head, short muzzle and large erect ears, and presents a superficial resemblance to the spotted hyena on which account it is sometimes called the hyena-dog. "
Mimicry
  " has been suggested as an explanation of this likeness; but it is difficult to see what advantage a strong animal
hunting
  in packs like the present species can gain by being mistaken for a hyena, as it is in every respect fully qualified to take care of itself. These wild dogs are found in nearly the whole of Africa
south
  and
east
  of the Sahara. The statement of Gordon Cumming that a
pack
  " could run into the swiftest or overcome the largest and most powerful antelope," is abundantly confirmed, and these dogs do
great
  damage to sheep flocks. Several local races of the species have been named.
