The African wild dog, also called Cape hunting dog or painted dog, typically roams the open plains and sparse woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa.
非洲野狗又称猎狗或彩色狗,通常出没在撒哈拉以南非洲的开阔平原或稀疏林地.
These long-legged canines have only four toes per foot, unlike other dogs, which have five toes on their forefeet. The dog's Latin name means "painted wolf," referring to the animal's irregular, mottled coat, which features patches of red, black, brown, white, and yellow fur. Each animal has its own unique coat pattern, and all have big, rounded ears.
这些长腿獠牙的家伙每只脚上只有4个脚趾,而其它的狗有5个.这种狗的拉丁名字叫"彩色狼",这源于它那缀满红,黑,棕,白,黄颜色的皮肤.每只狗都有独特的外皮和大而圆的耳朵.
African wild dogs live in packs that are usually dominated by a monogamous breeding pair. The female has a litter of 2 to 20 pups, which are cared for by the entire pack. These dogs are very social, and packs have been known to share food and to assist weak or ill members. Social interactions are common, and the dogs communicate by touch, actions, and vocalizations.
非洲野狗过着群居生活(Pack),通常由一对夫妻控制.雌狗生育2-20只细仔,由整个群体来照看.野狗非常社会化,群体内会分享食物并看护体弱多病的成员.社会性的互动很普遍,它们通过接触,打斗和叫声来交流.
African wild dogs hunt in formidable, cooperative packs of 6 to 20 (or more) animals. Larger packs were more common before the dogs became endangered. Packs hunt antelopes and will also tackle much larger prey, such as wildebeests, particularly if their quarry is ill or injured. The dogs supplement their diet with rodents and birds. As human settlements expand, the dogs have sometimes developed a taste for livestock, though significant damage is rare. Unfortunately, they are often hunted and killed by farmers who fear for their domestic animals.
非洲野狗以可怕的团队形式(6到20多只)来捕猎.在这种狗濒临灭绝前,更宏大的群体也很常见.野狗捕食羚羊和更大的猎物,如角马,特别是在猎物生病或受伤的情形下.狗的食物还包括啮齿类动物和鸟.随着人类的扩张,野狗有时也袭击家畜,但罕有严重的袭击.不幸得是,它们经常被担心家畜受伤的农民所猎杀.
African hunting dogs are endangered. They are faced with shrinking room to roam in their African home. They are also quite susceptible to diseases spread by domestic animals.
非洲野狗已濒临灭绝.在非洲家乡的活动空间越来越小.它也非常容易受到家畜传染病的侵袭.
永不认输的三花犬在草原食肉强者中非洲野狗的排名比花豹高，狮子>鬣狗>野狗>花豹>猎豹。
非洲野狗学名非洲猎狗因为读音与鬣狗混淆，改叫野狗。非洲野狗毛色有橙、黑、白三种。曾广泛地分布于非洲全境。 因为花色斑斓俗称三花犬.非洲野狗身上黑、白、黄、棕数色混杂的彩斑花纹非常美丽,引人注目,也令人生畏。 在草原杀手排名中仅排在狮子和斑鬣狗之后位于第三。非洲野狗为了争夺食物经常与斑鬣狗发生冲突，它们擅长两三只组成一个战斗小组，配合默契，斑鬣狗也是群体行动但是战斗中协作能力略逊一筹。
鸵鸟的速度是72.8千米/时,非洲野狗的速度是56千米/时。非洲野狗是一种野蛮、强悍的食肉动物,它们比猎豹还要凶猛,而且它们擅于依靠自己的群体力量,能围剿追杀比自己大十倍的野牛。 |
