Indoor Use

• Simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.

The Spirit of the African Wild Dog

Known as Lycaon pictus — meaning “painted wolf” — the African Wild Dog is one of the most striking carnivores on Earth. Each dog’s coat is unique, splashed with black, tan, and white patches that look as if nature herself held a paintbrush. But their beauty is more than skin-deep.

Wild Dogs embody:

• Loyalty & Unity: They live and hunt in tightly bonded packs where every member matters. Even the sick and injured are fed.

• Resilience: Despite being Africa’s most endangered carnivore, they continue to survive against all odds.

• Freedom: They roam wide territories, running down prey with unmatched stamina and coordination.

  
  

In many African traditions, Wild Dogs symbolize community, survival, and the power of working together — values we could all use more of today.

Sadly, the African Wild Dog has a troubled past. Once widespread across Africa, their numbers have plummeted due to:

• Habitat Loss: Expanding farmland and human settlements shrink their ranges.

• Conflict with Farmers: Seen as livestock threats, they’ve been hunted and poisoned.

• Disease: Rabies and distemper spread from domestic dogs have decimated packs.

  
  

Today, fewer than 6,000 remain in the wild, and they are listed as endangered. Conservation efforts in reserves like Kruger, Hluhluwe–iMfolozi, and Madikwe are giving hope — but their survival still hangs in the balance.

By bringing awareness (and a piece of their story) into your home with the Wild Dog Africa Metal Wall Art, you’re not just decorating — you’re honouring an icon of Africa’s wilderness.

Wild Dog Q&A – Questions People Always Ask

Q1: Is a Wild Dog stronger than a Pitbull?

Not physically. Pitbulls are stockier and more powerful individually. But a Wild Dog doesn’t rely on brute strength — it relies on teamwork. A pack has an 80% hunting success rate, far higher than lions.

Q2: How strong is a Wild Dog’s bite?

African Wild Dog: 317 PSI

• Rottweiler: 328 PSI

• Wolfdog: 406 PSI

• Mastiff: 556 PSI

While not the strongest bite, their relentless teamwork makes them formidable.

Q3: Are African Wild Dogs stronger than Hyenas?

Individually no. Hyenas are heavier with a bite force over 1,100 PSI. But Wild Dogs outsmart and outrun them, often stealing food back through persistence.

Q4: Who would win: a Lion vs. a Wild Dog?

One lion will overpower a Wild Dog. But a pack? They can chase a lion off or avoid conflict entirely. Wild Dogs win through efficiency, not raw strength.

Q5: Why are African Wild Dogs endangered?

• Habitat loss

• Human-wildlife conflict

• Disease from domestic dogs

• Small population numbers

Q6: Why are Wild Dogs such powerful hunters if they aren’t the strongest?

Their strength lies in:

• Endurance: Speeds of 60 km/h over long distances.

• Teamwork: Coordinated strategies, like a relay race of hunters.

• Pack Care: No one is left behind — even the sick and old eat.

  
  

They are nature’s ultimate reminder that unity is strength.
