The Chadian wild dog or Central African wild dog (Lycaon pictus sharicus) is a subspecies of African wild dog native to Central Africa. It lives only in the Central African Republic, however it is possibly extinct from Chad and the northern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Due to poor populations in Central Africa, the Chadian wild dog is critically endangered and is close to extinction. The Chadian wild dog currently lives in only one protected area, the Manovo-Gounda St. Floris National Park.
