"Where wolf?
The wolf was driven to extinction in England, partially because people believed wolves were bad luck. Many feared saying the word 'wolf' in December, for it would encourage the animal to attack that person, or their village.
A wolf's food supplies are at their lowest in winter, so in these months villagers may have had reason to be afraid.",
"Mountain climbers
The Ethiopian wolf can only be found in six or seven mountain ranges in Ethiopia. The largest population exists in the Bale Mountains National Park with 120-160 total wolves.",
"Dwindling numbers
One of the rarest mammals in the world, the red wolf is classified as a critically endangered species due to the fact that there are less than fifty adult individuals in the wild.",
"The nanny
Some jackal families take on helpers who will stay with them for about a year. The helpers do not breed themselves but are there to care for the second litter of pups.
Both the female and male play an important role in raising the young, so if one parent dies, it is unlikely that the rest of the family will survive. In families who incorporate helpers, the survival rate increases.",
"A nice warm coat.
The fox possesses the warmest fur of any mammal on the planet. Its coat changes color from white to brown in summer.",
"Who Needs Slippers?
The arctic fox has fur on the bottom of its feet.",
"That little fox
The Saharan desert's fennec fox, is the world's smallest fox, standing eight inches at the shoulder. Like elephants, it is equipped with enormous ears, which enable it to release body heat. Its big ears can add another five inches to its height.",
"Good Listener:
Africa's bat-eared fox loves to feast on insects, especially termites and dung beetles.
Their hearing is so sensitive that they can detect the larvae as they gnaw their way through a pile of dung balls.",
"Dingo Diet:
The dingo is an opportunistic hunter that eats a variety of animals, including kangaroos, wallabies, rabbits, possums, gliders, and rats.
Domestic animals, such as sheep and calves, are not an important source of food and they only make up between one and seven percent of a dingo diet.
What are its favorite foods? Kangaroo and wallaby, of course! These animals make up 50% of the dingo's diet.",
"Domestic Dingo:
Australian aboriginal people used to keep the dingo as a pet and trained it as a hunting dog.
They called the dingo ‘Warrigal’ and it was their only domestic animal. ",
"Part Wolf, Part Dog:
Dingoes are descended from Asian and Middle Eastern wolves.
Scientists now believe the dingo is related to the white-footed wolf of South East Asia, and was transported to Australia by Asian seafarers between 3,500 and 4,000 years ago.
The scientific name of the dingo was recently changed from canis familiaris (domestic dog) dingo to canis lupus (wolf) dingo.",
"Howling at the Moon:
Like wolves, dingoes make a range of sounds to communicate within their group, claim their territory, or call pups that stray.
Their most recognizable sound is a loud cry or howl, a sound which travels many miles.",
"So Similar, But So Different:
While dingoes belong to the same family as the common domestic dog, they have a few subtle differences.
For example, they don’t bark, they only breed once a year, and they don’t have that distinctive 'doggy smell.' ",
"The Ancient Dingo:
The earliest known dingo skulls were found in Vietnam and are about 5,500 years old.
Dingo remains from 5,000 to 2,500 years old have been found in other parts of South-east Asia and very dingo-like 14,000 year old bones have also been discovered in Israel.",
"Origins of the Modern Dingo:
Scientists believe that modern dogs are the products of several separate domestications of wolves at different times and in different areas: the modern dingo may be a relatively pure-bred descendant of one of the earliest domestications.",
"Constantly on the Move:
Dingoes have a home range territory of up to 8,000 hectares; however, their daily activities only take them to a small portion of that land.
They tend to spend a few days in one place and then move on to the next area of the range. Over time, they gradually cover their entire territory.",
"There's No Place Like Home:
Dingoes always return at night to the place from which they started in the morning. ",
"Dingo Devotion:
Dingoes mate for life. Dingoes mate between May and July and roughly five pups are usually born 63 days later. Both the male and the female care for their pups.
The parents hunt food and bring it to their pups until they are about 3 weeks old after which time they are taught to hunt for themselves. ",
"Counting Sheep:
Dingoes roam across all of Australia except Tasmania. Because they sometimes eat sheep, farmers consider them to be pests.
To keep dingoes out of the eastern states of Australia, a fence was erected which soon became known as 'the longest fence in the world.'",
"Who Needs a Quilt?
Many years ago, aboriginal people referred to dingoes as living blankets.
A very cold night was a called a ‘three-dog night’, because they needed 3 dogs to sleep with them to keep them warm.",
"Dingo Do's:
Most dingoes have yellow-brown hair, but they can also be cream colored, black and tan. Their fur also varies according to habitat.
Dingoes living in tropical regions in Australia have a short single coat, while those living in colder climates have a thick, long, double coat. In both regions the dogs have a 'summer coat' and 'winter coat.'",
"Medium-sized Meat Eater:
The dingo is the largest native carnivorous mammal in Australia. Dingoes are a medium-sized wild dog, and adults average about 3 feet long.
They have large erect ears, sharp eyes, and a keen sense of smell. ",
"Dingoes Prefer To Work Alone:
When prey is abundant dingoes are solitary hunters, but when prey is scarce they form packs and hunt larger animals.",
"Who Needs Oil Paints?
The oldest dingo fossil found was 3,450 years old. The dogs were a source of food and clothing for aboriginal society and eventually became a domesticated pet and valuable hunting dog.
Aboriginal people sometimes used their blood to make paintings and body art. ",
"Sleep tight.
Coyotes do not hibernate.",
"City Dweller.
The latin name for coyote is Canis Latrans, which means Barking Dog.
They are smart and adaptable animals and can be found living in cities.",
"I heard that!
A feature of the African wild dog is their unusually large ears. Large, rounded ears give them excellent hearing and helps keep them cool under the African sun.
The African wild dog belongs to the same family as jackals, foxes, coyotes, wolves, and dingoes.
They are frequently mistaken for hyenas, and have been called 'striped hyenas.'",
"There's not as many as you think.
African wild dogs are one of the most successful hunters in Africa. Their unique markings tend to make the pack look 10 times larger than it is, and this both confuses prey and helps the pack when hunting.
They catch their prey 70-90% of the time, compared with lions who are only successful 30-40% of the time. They can also kill their prey quicker than a lion.",
"Let's work together.
African wild dogs are strategic hunters and team players. They work well as a pack and employ a number of clever hunting techniques.
When a potential meal is spotted the dogs will drop their heads to make themselves look unthreatening to their prey.
They communicate with each other via a series of high-pitched vocal sounds, and signal which direction to go in with their ears.
They also turn hunting into a relay race, each taking turns to run after the prey.",
"Good Morning Kiss
In the early morning the pack makes a series of chirping bird-like sounds, and run-around rubbing shoulders and leaping over each other. They appear to 'kiss' one another, licking each other's mouths. This behavior is a social ritual and bonding session, which generates excitement and energy amongst the pack before they go out to hunt.",
"A dog race.
The African wild dog can run over 30 miles per hour for up to 3 miles at a time.
They also have very long legs and lanky frames, which contribute to their speed and endurance. They weigh up to 80 pounds and can measure between 30-38 inches long.",
"Alias!
The African wild dog has many popular names, including cape hunting dog, painted dog, and tri-colored dog.
That last name refers to their unique fur and markings, which can be best described as a pattern of splotches and splashes of different shades of brown and white.
Each dog has a unique and individual set of markings, much like a giraffe.",
"Can't take them anywhere.
The African wild dog has poor table manners. They tend to swallow meat in large chunks and, when they return to the pack, they regurgitate food for young pups and dogs that were not in the hunt.
Their prey includes mammals much larger than themselves such as wildebeest, and antelopes. They are not a scavenging animal. ",
"Only the strong survive.
The female African wild dog can have up to 21 pups in one litter. The mother introduces newborn puppies into the pack one at a time.
If any of the pups are in ill health, other members of the pack kill them. The African wild dog has a life span of about 10 years in the wild, and 14 years in captivity."];
