It is an African Wild Dog… but not a very healthy looking one… I assume this is in a zoo, where these should never be kept, they need to run… if you want to see what they look like in the wild look at this post of mine… http://visitstothepark.wordpress.com/2012/11/02/african-wild-dog/
We also have some wild african dogs in the Munich zoo, but they look much healthier… Nevertheless it’s a shame to arrest such animals.
Perhaps this is his reason for looking as if he would like to eat toddlers for lunch… 8-D
At least that’s what I think it is. He didn’t look very friendly.

Thanks for the info. Yes, this was at a zoo. I always feel bad for the zoo animals. I would love to see them in the wild.

We had a 6-month old with us. Maybe it was looking at him.
Urghs! 😯
I wouldn’t be happy patting the dog.
Oooohh … yikes … he doesn’t look happy at all. He looks like a hyena.
Love this capture!
