They generally live in packs of 10 animals, but groups as large as 40 animals have been sited. The prey they hunt include [[deer]], water buffalo, wild boars, banteng, cattle, nilgai, goats, markhor, serow, tapir, Indian hares, Himalayan field rats, insects, reptiles, and langurs.

African wild dog

[[Image:Lycaon pictus pg.jpg|right|thumb]]
The '''African wild dog''' (''Lycaon pictus'') is a species of tri-colored canine that lives in Africa. It is also referred to as the '''African hunting dog''', '''Cape hunting dog''', '''painted dog''', '''painted wolf''', '''painted hunting dog''', '''spotted dog''', or '''ornate wolf'''. Their diet consists of meat and they also hunt large [[bird]]s, especially [[Ostrich (species)|ostriches]]. They can also hunt other animals, including antelopes, zebras, buffaloes and warthog and catch them by chasing them to exhaustion. Other predators, such as [[lion]]s and [[hyena]]s, sometimes steal the prey that the wild dogs catch and the former of which can also kill them. African wild dogs have a unique blotchy coat pattern, have big round ears, and are also the only canid species to lack dewclaws. Like other species of canids, African wild dogs regurgitate food for their young and also live in packs.

The African wild dog is a fairly popular species on [[:Category:The Lion King multiplayer worlds|multiplayer worlds based on ''The Lion King'']], perhaps in part due to the species's striking and highly individual appearance.

Snow leopard

The '''snow leopards''' (''Panthera uncia''), sometimes referred to as "sneps", are a species of big cat found in mountainous regions of central Asia, ranging from Russia and Mongolia through China and Tibet and reaching into the Himalayan regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Another name for the snow leopard is the Ounce.

== Key facts ==
*'''Body Length'''(mm): 900-1350
*'''Weight'''(kg): 50 average
*'''Litter Size''': 2-3 average
*'''Life Span''': 15-18
*'''Status''': Vulnerable

== Physical description ==
The snow leopard was formerly the sole member of the genus ''Uncia''. However, because of later phylogenetic studies it was placed into the [[Wikipedia:Panthera|''Panthera'']] [[Wikipedia:Genus|genus]], which also contains species such as the [[tiger]], its closest living relative. Its inability to give a deep and powerful roar (due to an under-development of the fibro-elastic tissue that forms parts of the vocal apparatus) sets it apart from others in the big cat group.

Although having a similar rosette pattern to the leopard, they are less defined and are spaced further apart. The fur is long and wooly (fur length being between 1.5 - 2 inches = 4 - 5 cm in length), protecting the animal from the extreme cold of their mountainous habitat. They are generally grey with brown/yellow tinges on their flanks and have an almost white colouration on its underside. They have small ears mounted on a small head, with a distinctively heavy brow, holding enlarged [[Wikipedia:Paranasal sinus|frontal sinuses]], an adaptation to very cold air. Body size can be up to 1.3 metres in length, and they can weigh up to 70kgs. Their trademark [[tail]] can measure as much as 90cm and assists in balancing the cat. The limbs are relatively short and stocky, ending in large, sturdy [[Paw (anatomy)|paw]]s.

== Diet ==

The snow leopard stalks its prey in a similar fashion to the leopard, yet strangles it like a cheetah.

Prey includes animals such as [[wikipedia:Marco Polo sheep|Marco Polo Sheep]], [[wikipedia:Argali|Argali]], [[wikipedia:Wild goats|Wild goats]], [[wikipedia:Markhor|Markhor]], [[wikipedia:Himalayan tahr|Himalayan tahr]], [[wikipedia:Ibex|Ibex]], [[wikipedia:Siberian tahr|Siberian tahr]], [[wikipedia:Blue sheep|Blue sheep]], [[wikipedia:Musk deer|Musk deer]], [[wikipedia:Wild boar|Wild boar]], [[wikipedia:Marmot|Marmots]], [[wikipedia:vole|Voles]], and [[wikipedia:Pika|Pikas]].

== Social description ==

Snow leopards are active during the day and more active around dawn and dusk (crepuscular behaviour). There is very little known about the snow leopard's lifestyle. These secretive animals often meet to hunt and play.

The gestation period is 14-15 weeks, with 1-5 cubs being born from April to June. The same den site is used year after year by the female snow leopard. The cubs open their eyes at 9 days, and are weaned at 2 months. They generally stay with their mothers for 18 months.

Territory of 138-1,500 km² is held by males. Male and female ranges overlap, and pairs have been observed hunting together. Though usually considered solitary, they have long-lasting partnerships that follow a long courtship.

== Threat of extinction ==

There are approximately between 3,920 and 6,390 snow leopards left in the wild, and they are hunted for fur and body parts; they are also killed by eating poisoned prey. They are protected in Russia and India, but hunting is still legal in Mongolia.

[[File:Dd ty.png|right|thumb|'''TY''', a fictional [[anthropomorphic]] thylacine from ''[[TY the Tasmanian Tiger]]''.]]
'''Thylacine''' (''Thylacinus cynocephalus'') also known as the '''Tasmanian tiger''' or the '''Tasmanian wolf''', is a large [[carnivorous]] [[marsupial]] native to Tasmania, Australia. They are now extinct due to hunting, habitat loss, disease, and English settlements and the last individual died at the Hobart Zoo in 1936.

Thylacines look similar to [[dog]]s, but with a long, stiff, [[kangaroo]]-like [[tail]]. They are golden-brown in color with dark stripes along their back and tail (providing the "[[tiger]]" nickname) and can also open their jaws very wide. Being a marsupial, thylacines also have a pouch that they use to carry their young.
