    This same Dhole was hiding under near the river bed. Only by using its tail i was able to confirm the identity

    Dhole in Periyar National Park Apologies for the dark pic but this little guy was hiding under a Banyan tree near a river bed. Hence the bad lighting. Cuon alpinus,Dhole,Geotagged,India,Spring

The Dhole

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.
