"I'm merely speaking the truth in saying, I'd rather live out a short life and return to the pack of my next, just as equally free, peaceful and happy, than to suffer a long one of guilt, sadness and constant fear of myself and those near" - Jessica Burdell

Hi! I am a conservation artist and this is a small sketch of a painted wolf I made! I'm also very much looking forward to learning more about them, and their conservation on this subreddit!

I just found this group. I had my first safari this past September at Pom Pom in Botswana and Waterbuck in Thornybush. I’m now a Painted wolve fan. This crew is from Pom Pom.

You can tell a lot from an animal's teeth. Looking at these teeth, there is no question that Painted Wolves shear and tear meat, rather than grind it before swallowing it. Pic from BBCAmerica.

A drawing of a Painted Dog I'm working on, for the art gallery of Artists for Painted Dogs. They will sell a number of artworks, to raise money for the conservation of this beautiful species. (hope I can share this much info, not trying to advertise or anything, just trying to spread the word!)
