Xenocyon

''Xenocyon lycanoides'', also known as the African wolf, is an extinct canid from the Pleistocene of Eurasia. It lived from 1.8 Ma to 126,000 years ago, existing for approximately . Its name means "strange dog with wolf form", from ''Xeno-'' meaning foreign or strange and ''cyon'' for dog.
〔(Paleobiology Database: ''Thaumastocyonini'' Basic info ).〕

It preyed on antelope, deer, elephant calves, aurochs, baboons, wild horse and perhaps humans. It was probably the ancestor of the African wild dog (''Lycaon pictus'') and possibly the dhole (''Cuon alpinus'') of south-east Asia, the extinct Sardinian dhole (''Cynotherium sardous'').〔〔 (in French)〕 and perhaps the extinct Javanese dogs (''Megacyon merriami'', ''Mececyon trinilensis'').
The generic assignment of ''X. lycaonoides'' is controversial. As an alternative to its placement in ''Xenocyon'',〔 some recent authorities have placed the species in ''Lycaon'' (with the African Wild Dog, ''Lycaon pictus'')〔 or in ''Canis'' (with wolves and jackals).
