IUCN: Endangered. Threatened by extinction. Probably the world population does not exceed 3,000-5,000. Many early colonial game administrators regarded wild dogs as little better than murderers and called for the species' extermination. Farmers, fearing the dogs might prey on livestock (which they seldom did), also wanted the dogs wiped out. A combination of outright persecution and habitat loss has nearly accomplished this goal. They also have natural predators like Lions and Hyenas, and Eagles may sometimes steal the young.An African wild dog actually is endangered.
Only the Asiatic lion is listed as endangered. The African lion is listed as vulnerable.
