Asia's Unique Species Of Endangered Wild Dog
The Dhole is also called the Asiatic Wild Dog or Cuon alpinus. It is not
closely related to any other canine, so it is a species apart from
dogs, wolves, foxes or dingoes. This native of Southern Asia is an
endangered species. A Dhole is roughly as large as a border collie.
A pack of Dholes may number about ten, although sometimes four times
that number have been reported in one group. A pack generally has only
one breeding female; males usually outnumber females. Many of us whistle
to summon our dogs. The Dhole whistles too to summon other members of the pack, if they become separated while hunting.
