Alright time to talk about the thing that is my entire life.

African painted dogs! These gorgeous canids are unique in so many ways, but my favorite useless fact is that they don’t have dewclaws!

Here are some of my pictures of painted dogs I’ve seen in person at zoos. Someday I hope to see them in the wild.

These are all from the Denver Zoo. That last picture is of Nigel, the three legged painted dog! His rear right leg had to be amputated for health reasons and his tail was damaged as a pup and ended up partially falling off. He’s doing super well now and is such an amazing individual. I was lucky enough to interview one of his keepers for a project in college!

These guys are from Animal Kingdom. Hate on Disney all you want but animal kingdom is an AZA accredited facility that participates in conservation efforts so don’t shit talk it on my post.
