	African Wild Dogs (Lycaon Pictus) Pack Formation a paper by Roger Burrows on the African Wild Dog Pack Formation
		Lycaon is a highly social, medium sized canid endemic to Africa where it lives in packs.
		Here Lycaon is highly dependent on Impala, a prey species which, although having the advantage of being highly residential and existing locally at high densities year round, has very special habitat requirements.
		It is conceivable that a small mutation some 2-3 MY ago in a canid ancestor of Lycaon in Eurasia caused a genetic 'switch ' which, in the presence of pups, switches 'on' the behavioural imperative to adopt, feed and later to defer to pups at kills, to be left permanently 'on'.

	Mapping Wild Dogs
		Lycaon, although enjoying a wider distribution in Ethiopia than the critically endangered Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis), is declining throughout its former range in Ethiopia.
		The long-term prospects for Lycaon in the north of the country are uncertain, and the decline and near disappearance of Lycaon in the Serengeti ecosystem does not auger well for long-term stability of northern populations.
		Much of the data for this summary was collected by John Bulger in 1988/89, in a pamphletting survey with two objectives: 1) to estimate the distribution and density of wild dogs in Botswana and 2) to determine the extent of overlap with and depredation on domestic livestock in the region.

		The ecosystem population did not become extinct in 1991 a non study population persisted within and around the ecosystem throughout the study period and persists to date.
		In the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) breeding hierarchy a young male takes over as alpha when one of the alpha pair in their pack dies, or if two cohorts of males emigrate together from their natal pack or when a male pup is adopted by unrelated adult males.
		The protocol ensures that when either one of an alpha pair dies a male from the youngest cohort in the pack assumes the status of alpha in the resulting all male group and that all the females emigrate.
