In Africa
African hunting dogs have many names, the most common being African wild dogs or African hunting dogs. they are also known as Cape Hunting dogs and Painted dogs. In England they are called Painted wolves, in the Afrikaans language, Wildehond and in Swahili, Mbwa mwitu. Also as they are the only member of the canidae family, Lycaon Pictus (meaning "painted wolf" in greek), they have become known as simply Lycaon.
African hunting dogs have a patterned fur coat primarily for camouflage, which helps them blend into their natural environment while hunting. The unique coloration and patterns disrupt their outline, making it harder for prey to detect them. Additionally, this coat aids in social interactions within their packs, as each dog's pattern can help with individual recognition among pack members.

African hunting dogs, also known as painted wolves or Lycaon pictus, are classified within the family Canidae. They belong to the genus Lycaon and are the only extant member of this genus. Their classification includes the order Carnivora and the class Mammalia. African hunting dogs are recognized for their unique social structure, cooperative hunting strategies, and distinctive coat patterns.
African hunting dogs typically eat after a successful hunt, which can vary in frequency depending on the availability of prey. They may hunt every few days, consuming large meals when they do catch something. In addition to their hunts, they may also scavenge if necessary. Overall, their eating schedule is closely tied to their hunting success and the size of their pack.
Well the greater the number of hunters the better chances of catching prey, as the prey is a lot less defenseless compared to a large group of wild dogs.
