The African painted dog (also called African wild dog) may be the most endangered carnivore in Africa, with less than 5,000 remaining in the wild. Like other predators, it has been persecuted for hunting livestock and its habitat is shrinking as the human population grows. It is also susceptible to diseases spread by domestic dogs like rabies and distemper. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
