African Wild Dogs Use Panting as a Cooling Mechanism in High Temperatures, a New Study Finds

A pair of zoologists at the Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, working with a colleague at the University of Oxford, has found evidence suggesting that wild dogs living in Kenya are not likely to survive if global temperatures rise by 3°C. In their project, reported in the journal Global Change Biology, Daniella Rabaiotti, Rosie Woodroffe and Tim Coulson conducted a multi-year study of African wild dogs and the ways they react to changes in their environment.
