How often are African Wild Dogs born?

African wild dogs typically give birth once a year, with litters usually consisting of 2 to 20 pups, though the average is around 6 to 10. The breeding season can vary based on environmental conditions and prey availability, but it generally occurs during the rainy season when food is more plentiful. Pups are born after a gestation period of about 70 days and are cared for by the entire pack.
