More info: The African wild dog is also called the painted dog or Cape hunting dog. It is a wild canine which is a native to sub-Saharan Africa.

African wild dogs hunt in packs and will eat most mammals, including small rodents and larger mammals such as Antelope. After a kill, all members of the pack will feed equally, irrespective of their rank or whether or not they participated in the hunt and the pups and young always feed first.
