7. African wild dog
African wild dogs have many other names such as "Cape hunting dogs", but they are not actually wolves or dogs. This dog has a very distinctive appearance with an irregular, speckled coat adorned with patches of red, brown, black, yellow and white fur. Each animal has its own unique pattern and they all have big round ears.
Unlike regular dogs that have five toes on their feet, African wild dogs have only four toes on each foot. They were once found throughout the African continent, but due to habitat loss, African wild dogs are now listed as an endangered species.
