I hope nobody already posted this.

It has been here in some place, but it´s not dangerous if sometimes something is twice :) Better to have more information than less. Sometimes when discussion starts in one place and continues in other(s) it is difficult to notice all. 

This puzzle concerning for instance dhole reputation is quite big after all :) One thing always interesting are dhole pack sizes, when looking at interaction with other predators, small groups like in denser forest of course give up easier than bigger packs.

One of my big arguments with pack size, the habitat. Yes, they've overcome the problem of being separated with whistling, but let's face it, packs of social animals are smaller in forests since those habitats are better for ambush hunting. Hence, why India seems to have the biggest packs as there seems to be more open spaces in India.

Yeah, that study was interesting. It was maybe only where was studied predator interaction in place, where quite limited number of prey animals. If I remember right, dhole pack sizes are quite small in Thailand where that study was done, so I didn´t see it so interesting what comes to other discussion about dhole reputation in dhole thread. On the other hand of course interesting information in overall situation and how dholes are doing in different regions and countries. And of course about tigers and leopards there. It would be nice to see whole original study, in researchgate was only some summary. Reply
