It was great watching the behaviour of these Dhole from kill through to play.
The Dhole (Indian wild dog) numbers have reduced drastically in the last decade to under 2,000 adults. When talking to the naturalists they explained seeing large clans is a sight rarely seen today. In tropical forests they not only have the decline in habitat loss to deal with they also compete for food with Tigers and Leopards so in the parks where Tiger numbers gain the likely hood is that the number of Leopards and Dhole decreases.
