The African wild dogs, also known as the painted wolfs, are one of the most persecuted predators on the planet. At one point, the population of these painted wolfs was estimated to be as high as 500,000 but is now down to just over 6,600 adults over a much-reduced range. Some of the main reasons that have led to their population decline are increased human development and encroachment on their territory.

Currently, these animals are only found in southern Africa and the southern part of East Africa, particularly Tanzania and Kenya where large areas of their original territory remain intact.
