Sure!! At least from what i know, there aren’t really different types of African wild dogs (I’m pretty sure you mean them even if “Wild Dogs” can include many canids).

There aren’t any official subspecies, but they can slightly change from region to region.

For example, Wild Dogs from Kenya and Tanzania usually have a lighter fur and they’re just slightly slender.

On the other hand, the ones from the Botswana, Zimbabwe and the Sudafrica (Southafrica?) are darker and a bit more robust.

And the ones from Senegal and Burkina Faso are smaller, their fur patter is more harmonic and they live in little fragmented packs. they’re very rare.

So no, there aren’t different types/subspecies of African Wild Dogs, they’re all the same species (Lycaon pictus), but the regional packs show variations of body and fur patterns.

hope the answer is exhaustive ^_^
