When you saw the title for today's post did you expect to see pictures of butterflies?
Well although the pictures don't show butterflies I hope you are not disappointed by these shots of African Painted Dogs.
You can see from the picture above and from the two below that the name is well deserved
Cute and cuddly they're not but they are quite stunning creatures. They are also known as the Cape Hunting Dog but I think Painted Dog suits them better. They are an endangered species with less than 5,500 still in the wild. This is why the conservation breeding program at places like Chester Zoo is so important
