Dhole
Cuon alpinus
Dholes inhabit forests, grasslands, and upland country across parts of Asia. They are active, agile carnivores that pursue prey over long distances and communicate with distinctive whistles. Their diet consists chiefly of ungulates, but they also take smaller mammals and other available animal food. Unlike many canids, dholes have a reduced number of lower molars.
