Painted Hunting Dog
The African wild dog (''Lycaon pictus''), also called painted dog and Cape hunting dog, is a wild canine native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is the largest wild canine in Africa, and the only extant member of the genus '' Lycaon'', which is distinguished from ''Canis'' by dentition highly specialised for a hypercarnivorous diet and by a lack of dewclaws. It is estimated that there are around 6,600 adults (including 1,400 mature individuals) living in 39 subpopulations, all threatened by habitat fragmentation, human persecution and outbreaks of disease. As the largest subpopulation probably consists of fewer than 250 individuals, the African wild dog has been listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1990. The African wild dog is a specialized hunter of terrestrial ungulates, mostly hunting at dawn and dusk, but also displays diurnal activity.

Seraye
Seraye is the name of a former province of Eritrea. It has since been incorporated primarily into the Debub Region, though some western districts have become part of the Gash-Barka Region. The province was located west of Akele Guzai, south of Hamasien and north of Tigray. History Even though Seraye has yielded fewer archaeological findings than the other two historical regions, Seraye is likely one of the oldest sites of Semitic settlement in the Eritrean highlands. This is suggested by the similarity of its name to South-Arabian place names, possibly due to Semitic immigrants from South Arabia (e.g., Sarwàn, Saràt, in the mountains of Yemen). Additionally, the rock inscription of Séhuf Émni in Qwahayn, written in Epigraphic South Arabian script indicates the region's significance during this period. During the 9th century, Beja clans (who were also known Balaw or Belew, known locally as ''Belew Kelew'') came to form the major ruling class in what would become Seraye an ...
