African wild dogs

One of the predators of aardvarks that eat aardvarks in North Africa is the African wild dog. The sole living member of the genus Lycaon, which differs from Canis by having a highly adapted dentition for a hypercarnivorous diet and by lacking dewclaws, it is the biggest wild dog in Africa. These creatures are opportunistic predators who love scavenging on larger prey like antelopes and warthogs, but they will also gladly slay an aardvark.


The African wild dog, like other canids, regurgitates food for its pups, but it also does it for adults as a crucial aspect of the social life of the pack. The young are permitted to consume corpses first. It has been revered in many hunter-gatherer communities, including those of the predynastic Egyptians and the San people, despite not being as well-known or famous in African mythology or culture as other African carnivores.


African wild dogs spend a lot of time in packs and are very gregarious creatures. They hunt in groups, making it exceedingly challenging for possible prey to flee from them. Once they've located their target, they'll circle it and attack it collectively, leaving the victim helpless. Aardvarks can dig extremely swiftly underground, which may provide them with a short escape, although it would seem doubtful that they would do so if they were already being encircled.
