The Giant-Footed African Dog By Mia V


The Giant Footed African dog is related to the brown bear there are ten of them left in the world. They are very endangered.


The African dog is a mammal that feeds on wetas and frogs legs. The African dog is about 12 cm small but its feet are 8cm wide.


The African dog can be found in trees or small holes under ground.


The African dog has big green and purple eyes a orange body with black spots and yellow claws it has scales and weighs 8 kg.


When a creature tries to get or eat the African dog they stick out their claws and scratch them.

When the African dog has a baby the girls come out in some sticky liquid but the boys come out in a small egg shell. The egg shell has all kinds’s of coloured spots this is because that is how the adults can tell what to call it. So if the egg shell had green and red spots the mum will call him the big footed greed and red spotted african dog .


The boys can live up to 70 years old but the girls can live up to 100 years of age.


The Giant-footed African dog is a creature that does not like other creatures. In 2012 their numbers dropped so there are only 10 left in the world .

  1. Hi Mia, your report leaves me wondering about why there are only ten giant footed African dogs left.The information about the differences between how the girls are born and the boys are hatched is very interesting.
