Why Is African Wild Dog Endangered

The African wild dog is endangered and alone. Do you think these should be fine out in the wild? Did you think they have enough food? Well think again, the wild dog is very endangered. There is so much bigger and stronger competition for food, so that it is hard to catch. So to survive they have to try to take down some of the top predators in Africa. Including the mighty Lion and other big animals that would crush them to bits and pieces. Sometimes, or I should say most times they will try to hunt in packs to make it easier but against a full grown male trying to protect his cubs yeah nice try but they are way to protective of the young that it is to hard even to get a hold of a cub without fighting a much bigger lion. That is why wild dogs need help to get food. Also they are a lot smaller than your average dog, but they do have huge ears and can hear you coming and might put up a tiny competition of the mighty lion. Sometimes they can’t survive horrible injuries, and they would most likely die from that injury.
According to Mr. Harvey, another reason they are so endangered is because “ Human pick them off one by one for fun” (Harvey). If there would be less human wild dog poaching than life in Africa would be so much cooler and we could learn a little bit more about them than we already do. If we learn about them than maybe we could have them as a pet or something. Anything but, shooting them or injuring them and leaving them there helpless and most likely to die (Wild Dog Rescue). Helping animals is the number one priority for the World Wildlife Fund so they can save our animals in
