Lycaon pictus
Many large mammals are native to the Sudanian savanna, including African bush elephant ("Loxodonta africana"), northern giraffe ("Giraffa camelopardalis"), giant eland ("Taurotragus derbianus derbianus"), roan antelope ("Hippotragus equinus"), African buffalo ("Syncerus caffer brachyceros"), lion ("Panthera leo"), leopard ("Panthera pardus") cheetah ("Acinonyx jubatus"), and African wild dog ("Lycaon pictus"). Most large mammals are now very limited in range and numbers.
