Due to poor populations in Central Africa, the Chad wild dog is critically endangered and is close to extinction.[2] In the Central African Republic, the Chad wild dogs currently live in only one protected area, the Manovo-Gounda St. Floris National Park. TaxonomyThe Chad wild dog was first described by both naturalists Oldfield Thomas and Robert Charles Wroughton in 1907 under the trinomen Lycaon pictus sharicus from the lower Shari River and eastern Lake Chad.[1] It is also sometimes mistakenly known as Lycaon pictus saharicus, named after the Sahara Desert. The specimens from Tanezrouft, Algeria were indicated as a distinct race, though it is possibly applicable to the Shari River subspecies.[3] Distribution and habitatOnce widespread, the Chad wild dog lived in northern Congo, Chad, the Central African Republic, Niger, southern Algeria, Libya and eastern Sudan.
