Dhole

The dhole (Cuon Alpinus), also known as the Asian wild dog or Indian wild dog, is an endangered canine native to North America, Europe, and Asia. They still live in East Asia and used to live in Europe and North America during the Pleistocene. The recognized subspecies of the dhole are the Ussuri dhole, Tien-Shan dhole, and Sumatran dhole. It competes with leopards, Asiatic lions, bears, and even tigers. The Tien Shan dhole is also known as the Siberian wild dog, Western dhole, or Northern dhole. The Sumatran dhole is also known as the Javan dhole, Sumatran wild dog, and Malay wild dog. Both the Sumatran tiger and Sumatran dhole are critically endangered. The Ussuri dhole is also known as the Indian wild dog, Eastern dhole, or Chinese dhole. The Ussuri dhole is the nominate subspecies. The Sumatran species lives in Java, Sumatra, and the Malay peninsula. There are differences between dholes and red foxes, red foxes are smaller than dholes and they have a white tip at the end of their tails. The Sardinian dhole didn't live in the Cuon genus. It was 1st described in 1811 by German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas. Perhaps we can reintroduce them back to Europe and North America someday. The places where we should reintroduce them are; Europe: Southern Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, France, Ukraine, Northern Spain, and Switzerland. North America: Southern Canada, USA, Eastern Alaska, and Northern Mexico. But what if it's to mild for them? To find out, we should investigate the possibility if they can survive in the wilds of Europe and North America by bringing a small pack to the wild to see if they can survive there. We should also stop killing them and make their conservation status rise up to least concern. In 1996, it was listed as vulnerable, and in 2009, it was then listed as endangered. The 4 locally extinct species that should be back to rewild Sardinia and Corsica are the dhole, lynx, pika, and giant otter.
