The African wild dog, also known as Cape hunting dog or painted
dog, is a canine with long legs with only four toes per foot. Different from
other ordinary dogs, it has five toes on their forefeet. Its Latin name literally
means "painted wolf," which refers to its uneven, mottled fur, which
includes the colors: red, black, brown, white, and yellow. The most interesting
part of this animal is that each of them has a unique coat pattern, but has
identical big, rounded ears.
