A dog up a tree? :/
Nagarhole National Park in Karnataka, India, is often considered a synonym for "leopard up a tree", but during one trip into the jungle, it was not a cat up a tree that I saw, but a dog! The Indian wild dog, or dhole, is often seen sitting on small mounds or tree stumps in order to get a better vantage point for the surrounding terrain, however, this one brave dhole went a step further, literally, climbing up a dead tree to a hight of about 3-4m. It is rare to see a dhole venture so high.
The dhole, also called the Asiatic wild dog or Indian wild dog, is a species of canid native to South and Southeast Asia. It is the only extant member of the genus "Cuon", which differs from "Canis" by the reduced number of molars and greater number of teats.
