Best Answer

Asiatic Dholes is a type of wild dog, large and vicious in appearance. They are red furred and range from Siberia to India but prefer forest habitats. They are very social, living in groups of about 10 animals, sometimes up to 40. Dholes hunt in packs and eat meat, and are known to hunt Asian Buffalo. Otherwise, they sleep or breed. Dholes are on the endangered species list due to being misunderstood and killed by humans.

Dholes typically hunt alone and so eat smaller mammals in their habitat, such as rabbits or deer. When they do work in small groups they are able to hunt larger prey, as large as water buffalo.

Dholes, being wild dogs, go after mainly deer, wild boars and hares. Larger herbivores like water buffalo, gaur, banteng, yak, and larger antelopes like the nilgai are too large for these wild dogs to hunt down, even as a pack.
