Lycaon pictus
Found in Africa, these wolves live in family groups usually up to 5 or 10 members. They are great hunter will a 80% success rate of killing. This is higher than lions and hyenas hunting success. They are endangered do to natives hunting them because they are misunderstood; end up in traps made for lions and elephants; and are sometimes affected by outbreaks of viral diseases such as rabies, distemper, and parvovirus.
I took this photo while I was at Zoo Miami, Florida.
