South African Wild Dog

African Plains- South African Wild Dog. April 26, 2015.
How many did you see? Except when the exhibit first opened (and they had 13 offspring) I have only seen 4-5 dogs for the past five years.
 
Does the 'South' part of the name refer to a particular subspecies?

Yes. These are the nominate subspecies, native to Southern Africa.

Most or all wild dogs in the AZA are the nominate I believe. The animals in Europe are all non-subspecies, though.
