Are African wild dogs related to dogs?

They have long slender legs to help aid in tiring out their prey, they have great eyesight to help them hunt during dusk and dawn, they also have strong teeth so that they can bite through bone. =] in addittion to that they also have lots of endurance and genrally chase their pray for a very long time, so that eventually the prey gets incredibly tired and as a result it is a easy kill also the ability to co-ordinate the hunting duties also make the African wild dogs superb hunters

What is another name for an African wild dog?

Answers: 1. I believe that the ocelot would be considered an African wildcat.2. Actually an Ocelet is a leopardlike cat that's found in the Americas ranging from Texas down to South America.3. I believe Serval (Felis serval) is what you're looking for as it is a nocturnal African cat.4. There are 10 species of African wild cats, 3 big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) and 7 small cats (caracal, serval, black-footed cat, sand cat, jungle cat, golden cat and the African wildcat). So it depends if you are referring to African wild cats in general or the actual African wildcat species (Felis sylvestris lybica).
