Wild Dogs

The Asiatic Wild Dog also known as The Dhole' (Cuon alpinus), Indian Wild Dog or Red Dog is an endangered species of Asian canid, and the only member of the genus Cuon. It once ranged across East and South Asia from Russia Far East to Sumatra. Their range is severely fragmented and reduced and there are little over 2,000 individuals left in the wild. The current situation of Dhole receives significantly little attention compared to its equally endangered relative the African Wild Dog, due to a lack of portraits of the species in popular media and documentary films.
