The civil unrest that ravaged Angola for nearly 30 years took a heavy toll on the country's wildlife, and led to a lengthy absence of reliable information for many threatened species, including the cheetah Acinonyx jubatus and African wild dog Lycaon pictus. Using camera trapping we assessed the status of these two species in two areas of southern Angola, and complemented our findings by reviewing recent survey reports and observations to provide an update on the species' status. We found unequivocal evidence that African wild dogs are resident and reproducing in Bicuar National Park, where cheetahs appear to be absent. Conversely, cheetahs may be resident in western Cuando Cubango province, where African wild dogs may only be transient. Based on these and other recent records in Angola, we recommend a revision of these species' distribution ranges and note the need for monitoring of these remnant populations and for appropriate attention to any threats.

安哥拉脆弱猎豹和濒危非洲野狗的更新范围

蹂躏安哥拉近 30 年的内乱对该国的野生动物造成了沉重打击，并导致包括猎豹在内的许多受威胁物种的可靠信息长期缺乏刺槐和非洲野狗鹧鸪. 我们使用相机捕捉评估了这两个物种在安哥拉南部两个地区的状况，并通过审查最近的调查报告和观察结果来补充我们的发现，以提供有关该物种状况的最新信息。我们发现了明确的证据表明非洲野狗在比库尔国家公园居住和繁殖，那里似乎没有猎豹。相反，猎豹可能居住在宽多库班戈省西部，那里的非洲野狗可能只是短暂的。根据安哥拉的这些和其他近期记录，我们建议修订这些物种的分布范围，并指出需要监测这些残余种群并适当注意任何威胁。
