You can help conserve African painted dogs
African painted dogs are some of the most fascinating and beautiful predators in Africa, but unfortunately, they’re now among the most endangered. Due to habitat loss and hunting, African painted dogs are considered to be critically endangered, with an estimated wild population of less than 6,000.
By adopting the African painted dogs at Brookfield Zoo, you’re making a positive difference for these incredible animals both here and worldwide!
