Dholes (Cuon alpinus)

[Shadow]

This book and sources for information concerning dholes would be interesting to see if someone has more information:

Animals in Stone: Indian Mammals Sculptured Through Time

Author Alexandra van der Geer, publication date 31. October 2008

Here is shortly part of concerning dholes and tigers and then in another photo is source list and there:
W. Rice, Tiger Shooting in India: Being an Account of Hunting Experiences on Food in Rajputana During the Hot Seasons from 1850 to 1854 (London: Smith, Elder and Co., 1857)

There seems to be something about dholes and tigers, if someone is familiar with that book? And I think, that everyone know, that nowadays we see leopards to climb to trees when harassed by dholes, but in this case is written about tiger. And there is even footage from Siberia where tiger try to climb on some wooden garage etc. (falling down though) in order to escape hunting dogs. And some footage also tigers climbing trees, so it is not totally impossible scenario for a tiger to do it, even though rare.
