Is a cape hunting dog carnivore?
The Cape hunting dog (Lycaon pictus), also known as the African wild dog, is a carnivorous species belonging to the Canidae family. Similar to other canids, they have a diet that primarily consists of meat. Cape hunting dogs are known for their cooperative hunting behavior, where packs of these animals work together to hunt and bring down prey. They typically prey on medium to large-sized herbivores such as antelopes, gazelles, and wildebeest. They are efficient predators and known to hunt during the day, unlike many other carnivores that hunt at night.
