Reading: African wild dogs

Read the text, then answer the questions. (Lies den Text und beantworte die Fragen.)

The painted hunters

African wild dogs live in the grasslands of Africa. People also call them "painted dogs" because their fur has many colours — black, brown, yellow and white. Each dog has its own pattern, so no two dogs look exactly the same.

Wild dogs live and hunt together in a big family called a pack. The pack works as a team to catch food, and the whole pack helps to feed the youngest pups. They are very fast runners and can run for a long time without getting tired.

1.Where do African wild dogs live? grasslands

3.What is a wild dog family called? a pack
4.Write one thing the whole pack does together. e.g. hunt / catch food / feed the pups
