Dhole


The dhole is a species of wild dog from southern Asia. They're about the size of a border collie. Like wolves, they live in highly social packs. Though threatened with extinction, so far it has received very little attention.

Dholes use a wide variety of vocalizations. They can whistle, scream, mew, and even cluck like a chicken.

2. Aren't they cute?
Foxes are more solitary than these guys. And they're smaller than dholes, too.

4. They are cute. There are a lot of foxes around here.
We used to feed hot dogs to this friendly fox. He got real close and the cats hated it!

All it's missing are the "eyebrows".
