	African Hunting Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The African Hunting Dog (Lycaon pictus), also called African Wild Dog, is a mammal of the Canidae family, and thus related to the domestic dog.
		Wild dogs will often regurgitate meat to other members of the group: older dogs, the young, and adults that have stayed behind to guard the young during hunting sojourns.
		The current estimate for remaining wild dogs in the wild is approximately 5,600.

		Roger Burrows, who has studied packs of wild dogs in the Serengeti for over three years, visited and spent time looking at the behaviour and demography of the captive dogs in comparison with those in the wild.
		Given the constrictions of their compounds, much of their behaviour was on a parallel with wild roaming dogs, and discussion took place on aspects of their reintroduction in relation to a captive upbringing and its consequences.
		The wild dogs that will be selected for reintroduction are, for the majority, those who would have naturally left the original packs.

		Wild dogs are social, communally hunting carnivores, which live in small cohesive packs typically composed of a dominant breeding pair, a number of non-breeding adults, and their dependent offspring.
		Within the wild dog pack all the males are related to each other, and all of the females to each other but not to the males.
		This leads the wild dog into increased contact with humans, their domestic animals and the diseases they carry; and an increasing number of roads bisecting its habitat threaten the wild dog with greater mortality from vehicles.
