even if you do domesticate a wild animal, it will still have the senses and heart of a wild animal, and those tell them to kill humans

Animals are instinctual but also moulded by environmental factors. All dogs, at some point or another, were wild dogs until people took them and domesticated them. I believe originally they were used for protection and hunting purposes. As we line bred them they became more tame and relatively more dumb (they also have more genetic defects as a result). If you take a wild dog from birth, before it is exposed to its wild environment it should be able to be domesticated easier than a dog that has been exposed to its wild environment. dogs roam in packs and learn from their community, just as they learn from their owners. If you assert yourself as leader of the pack that dog will be dedicated and loyal to you. Remember, dogs have relatively small brains that are based on learned behaviour and instinct. Also remember the old cliche "you can't teach an old dog new tricks", it does have some truth to it.

What is another name for an African wild dog?

Answers: 1. I believe that the ocelot would be considered an African wildcat.

2. Actually an Ocelet is a leopardlike cat that's found in the Americas ranging from Texas down to South America.

3. I believe Serval (Felis serval) is what you're looking for as it is a nocturnal African cat.

4. There are 10 species of African wild cats, 3 big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) and 7 small cats (caracal, serval, black-footed cat, sand cat, jungle cat, golden cat and the African wildcat). So it depends if you are referring to African wild cats in general or the actual African wildcat species (Felis sylvestris lybica).

When do African Wild Dogs have pups?

Gestation: Approximately 70 days. Litter size: Averages 6-10. Although considered bloodthirsty and cruel, African hunting dogs are model parents and guardians who lovingly and devotedly look after the offspring. The alpha pairs' pups are the center of the pack and everything the pack does is for them. Pups take precedence in most pack affairs. At about 3 weeks of age, the pups' eyes open and the pups emerge from the den when they start to eat solid food regurgitated by all the adults. When the pack is hunting, 1-2 adults remain at the den to guard the pups during the 2 months following their births. When 2 months old, the pups begin to follow the hunt, although they are kept at a safe distance, often tucked away under a bush. As soon as the pack catches prey, the young and the infirm adults are given a certain priority in feeding. As the young beg for food, they often become quite aggressive, biting higher-ranking dogs without getting bitten back in return. Weaning happens at about 10-12 weeks. If a pup feels abandoned, it makes a soft, high-pitched moo-ing sound. When pups beg, they whimper, like domestic dogs. Very young pups utter a peeping sound.
