Hunting dogs
Well-Known Member
Hi,
My favourite animals are African wild dogs (known as painted dogs at Chester Zoo). I read an article on the Chester Zoo website about the new wild dog exhibit which said that the 4 out of the 5 male dogs had been named following a naming competition on the zoo's Facebook site (they are called Azizi, Badrani, Diallo and Gamba). The meaning of their African names was given. The 5th male was named Ochi by schoolchildren from Wales, but I don't know the meaning of his name - can anyone tell me what it is? And what are the names of the 2 female dogs (plus meanings)?
I hope the dogs are doing well and look forward to seeing some more photos of them in the Zoo Chat gallery for Chester Zoo!
