Happy World Dhole Day!

Common Name: Dhole Latin Name: Cuon alpinus Location: eastern and southern Asia Conservation Status: Endangered

Many people have never heard of the dhole, pronounced like dole. There are only about 2,500 dholes left in the wild, which is less than how many tigers are left in the wild!
