African wild dogs are also known as "Cape hunting dogs" or “painted dogs” for their unique mottled coats. These highly social animals share some qualities with domestic dogs, wolves, and other canines, but are not closely related to our four-legged best friends. In fact, they are in a distinct genus from domestic dogs and wolves.
Meet more animals >> | Wish you were colorful as a checkerspot butterfly or striped like a tiger? Get your face painted as your favorite animal by our talented makeup artists. Or get a temporary airbrush tattoo featuring one of the Zoo’s famous faces.
