Description: The dhole is a highly social animal, living in large clans without hierarchies and containing multiple breeding females. Such clans usually consist of 12 individuals, but groups of over 40 are known. It is a diurnal pack hunter which preferentially targets medium and large-sized ungulates. In tropical forests, the Dhole competes with tigers and leopards, targeting somewhat different prey species, but still with substantial dietary overlap. It is listed as Endangered by the IUCN, as populations are decreasing and estimated at fewer than 2,500 adults. Factors contributing to this decline include habitat loss, loss of prey, competition with other species, persecution due to livestock predation, and disease transfer from domestic dogs. The Dhole (Cuon alpinus) is a medium-sized canid native to Central and Southern Asia, with a red-brown coat and a black-tipped tail. Adults are about 3 ft (90 cm) long plus a 17-inch (43 cm) long tail. Also known as Asiatic wild dogs or, "whistling wolves" by locals. These canids hunt in small packs of five to twelve (or more) adults. Deer, wild goats, and mountain sheep are hunted by these facultative carnivores. Dholes are very good swimmers, and often chase their prey into the water. They consume meat in large chunks and are among those wild canids who often consume the stomach contents of their ruminant prey. Dholes feature unique dentition and skull shape when compared with other canids. Their vocalizations range from high pitched whistling through to bird-like chirps and gekkering not unlike that of red foxes ****************************************************************** I love to make videos, or video edits with animals.
