THE dhole, Why Or ” Asiatic Wild Dog (Asia is one of the five continents or part of the Eurasia or Afro-Eurasia supercontinents of…) (Cuon alpinus) is a species (in life sciences, the species (from Latin species, “species”) of mammals (mammals (class Mammalia) form a taxon belonging to the vertebrates,. .) of the family Canidae and genus Cuonwhose current sole representative he is.
Description
The dhole resembles the wolf (Canis lupus, is the most common wolf species in the Canidae family. It…) or the Lycaon. His dress is of a color (The color is the subjective perception that the eye has of one or more wave frequencies…) brown-red. It lives primarily in Central and East Asia, but easily adapts to new environments. The male is much larger than the female (In biology, female (from Latin “femella”, small woman, young woman) is that…). It measures 75 cm to 1 m long and weighs between 15 and 20 kg. Its tail is about 40 cm long and its end is black.
Dholes live in groups of up to 40 individuals. Formerly more than 100 individuals, such large herds disappeared as large herbivores became scarce.
As with wolves, only the alpha male and female reproduce, which could explain the threats of extinction this species faces. They raise their young like wild dogs in a burrow. Today there are only a few thousand dholes left on the planet (A planet is a celestial body orbiting the Sun or another star of …).
distribution
Currently it is found in India, Southeast Asia (Southeast is the direction midway between the southern and eastern cardinal points. Southeast is…), China, Korea, Russia and Japan. It was also present in Europe (Europe is a land region that can be considered as one) until the beginning of the Upper Palaeolithic, when it succeeded another extinct species, Cuon priscus, without necessarily descending from it.
