Dholes (Cuon alpinus)

[Sanju]

@Pckts  I think Dhole "Clan" frequently live in 5 to 6 but there are incidents with 40 membered clan were also recorded. The social structure is similar to its extant relative Painted Dog "Pack" which can upto 100's like in South Africa's during Game migratory seasons. Though this canid is larger in proportions but hunting technique is same with its Asian counterpart.

So why do you think these dogs occasionally can hunt big game like Cape buffalo (adults very rare but still), Ostrich, Zebra and Wildebeest?

But why can't the biggest terror of the Jungle "The Dhole" which tiger too fear sometimes can't hunt big game like buffalo?

Any explanation why Serows are the only ungulate species effective against falling prey to dhole??? Reply
