I love going to see the African painted dogs there so beautiful and I love the sounds they make

I love these dogs! 💕

The way I see it compare to wolves, the painted dogs don't growl at each other to see who gets to eat next or who gets to eat first. In wolf society, wolves will often growl at each, especially the alpha leader, and would growl at the pack members; letting them know when it is their turn to eat next. If they disobey the rule, the pack leader will sometimes give one wolf a warning. But for the African wild dog in a way, they sort of just don't growl at each other while eating. That's kind of how I see it in this video of how the wild dogs behave.

Are there only 3 now or are some just put away still?

We currently only have three African painted dogs - the other have been transferred to other institutions. Still here are Roanne, Daisie, and Cesar.

Do the African painted dogs share a lot in common like your average pet dog?

Nope.

I have a question about to e cape painted wolves. So is there a dominant leader in their pack? Because I have seen them a few weeks ago to do a study on predatory animals of Africa

A dominant breeding pair leads the pack. Other adults will help raise their offspring.

Where did you get the goat Carcuss?
