Se encuentra catalogado dentro de la “Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas” bajo la categoría “En peligro” de extinción, eso pese a ser considerado “el mejor cazador del mundo” por su porcentaje de éxito (9/10).
Se caracteriza por sus orejas redondas y pelaje con manchas que forman patrones y que les hace únicos, pues no comparten “su diseño” con ningún otro sujeto.
Este lo fotografié en el magnífico Parque Nacional Kruger de Sudáfrica.

Another great phto @Marichams
Thanks again @AdamGT ! What do you think about the captions? Have you learned anything new?
hi @Marichams Your job should be first of all an alarm signal, you have photographed something that will soon be visible only at the ZOO possibly in pictures. Keep the picture well.
African Painted Dogs live only in Africa and there would be only a few thousand. The researchers found that they have a complex system of communication and submit the decision to go hunting “vote”. They are near extinction due to poaching and poisoning by farmers in some states as well as the diseases transmitted by the parasites of the domestic animals that come to their hunting territories once the space is captured by humans. There are only a few safe areas for them in Africa. Today, when I read in the African press that Lucílio Matsinhe, the son of the national hero Mariano de Araújo Matsinhe, has been arrested for holding a rhino horn, I am increasingly reluctant about the survival of endangered species.
