Review
The African Wild Dog is a book about a species that is inherently fascinating for a wide variety of reasons. The authors demonstrate how different sorts of data can be collected simultaneously even under difficult field conditions, and they then bring state-of-the-art quantitative analyses to bear on theoretical issues of current interest. As a consequence, the book moves our understanding . . . forward in a compelling way. The work is behavioral ecology at its best.
(Tim Caro Science )
A monument to much that is best in naturalistic field research. . . . For the armchair conservationist it is easy to assume rarity is a man-made evil, but for the wild dog it is natural. . . . The African wild dog may soon have nowhere left to run.
(David W. MacDonald Times Literary Supplement )
This book is essential for anyone interested in the behavior and conservation of large carnivores. The advanced statistical techniques and in-depth discussions of dispersal, hunting, and sociality should be of interest to most behavioral ecologists, and the smooth integration of behavioral observations and analytical conservation biology serves as a model for future studies of endangered species.
(Theodore Stankowich Ethnology )
Review
There is no book like this on wild dogs. It is a valuable, engaging, and well-written contribution to science.

First Sentence
The scientific name of the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) means painted wolf, a reference to their patchwork coats of brown, black, and white, which Angier (1996) aptly called "a furred version of combat fatigues." Read the first page
