Meet The Amazing Looking Mountain Wolf (The Dhole) From Asia

The dhole (Cuon alpinus) is a canid native to Central, South and Southeast Asia. Other English names for the species include Asiatic wild dog, Indian wild dog, whistling dog, red wolf (not to be confused with Canis rufus), red dog, and mountain wolf.

When hunting as a pack, dholes can catch prey over 10 times their own body weight and can even fend off a tiger. Each pack contains a dominant monogamous pair. Subordinate pack members help care for the young of the dominant pair. The dhole's gestation period is 60-62 days. The mother usually gives birth to eight pups at a time. Pups are born throughout the end of fall, winter, and the first spring months (November,March).
