They are omnivorous scavengers, some have even been known to catch flying insects. Prehistoric dogs have excellent powers of disguise , being able to blend in with the most diverse surroundings and they appear to be almost invisible to all but the professionally trained observer. Many scientists are skeptical and still refuse to acknowledge their existence. Very little photographic proof has been produced and the tracks left by the animals are often attributed to wolves. The skin is smooth and covered with a fine coating of hair.

They have been seen hunting in small groups rather like wolves. One of the most astonishing sights is a Prehistoric dog's egg. These normally quiet animals have been known to produce strange barking sounds when they are threatened. There have been a few reports of some new species of Prehistoric dogs being discovered, but this recent evidence has yet to be verified. Prehistoric dogs were thought to be exclusively found in the Northern hemisphere until recently, and most confirmed sightings have been in North Africa and Central Europe.
