Dholes (canine)

The olm, a cave-dwelling amphibian found primarily in Slovenia and surrounding areas, is considered endangered. While exact population numbers are difficult to determine due to their subterranean habitat, estimates suggest there are likely fewer than 10,000 individuals remaining in the wild. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats and ensure their survival.

Dholes, or Asiatic wild dogs, prepare for birth by creating a den, often using existing burrows or digging their own in secluded areas. The female typically goes through a gestation period of around 60 to 65 days before giving birth to a litter of 4 to 10 pups. During this time, she may become more reclusive and rely on the pack for support, as they help provide food and protection. As the birth approaches, the female will exhibit nesting behavior, gathering materials to line the den for comfort.

Hedgehog cacti are primarily consumed by herbivorous animals, such as desert tortoises, jackrabbits, and various rodents. Additionally, some birds, like quail and finches, may also feed on the seeds and fruits of the cactus. Larger herbivores, such as deer, may nibble on the pads or flowers when other food sources are scarce. However, due to the cactus's spines, many animals tend to avoid eating it unless necessary.

The life cycle of a dhole, also known as the Asiatic wild dog, starts with mating between a male and female dhole. The female dhole will then have a gestation period of around 60-63 days before giving birth to a litter of pups. The pups will be cared for and nursed by the mother for several months before they start to learn hunting and survival skills from the pack. As they mature, they will eventually leave the pack to find their own mate and continue the life cycle.

Scientific name of Dhole is CUON ALPINUS

If Dholes become extinct, then the tiger population will be affected, because Dholes coexist with them. The tiger population will explode, and reduce the resources available to all the other neighboring populations. After all the resources such as food, water, space, and shelter are reduced, than the populations that once coexisted with Dholes with be reduced. That will also affect humans that eat and drink the same things that Dholes and Tigers eat in the same areas, and the humans might have to relocate.

Large packs can on very rare occasions, but not without horrendous losses. One pack of dholes, numbering 35, killed a large male tiger in India in 1967. The tiger gave a good account of himself before being overwhelmed, killing 16 dogs, and wounding at least ten others.

The population of Dholes is about 2,500. Hope I helped don't get mad if I didn't

The World Wildlife Foundation focuses on protecting vital habitat which in turn will support prey species for predators such as Dhole. It works with local communities and governments to establish and manage protected areas and wildlife sanctuaries, work to protect priority species such as elephants, rhinos, tigers and leopards has a positive knock-on effect on other endangered species such as Dhole.

Dholes only grow to around 30 to 45 lbs, and stand only 20 to 24 inches tall.

They are warm blooded. They do it the same way as humans.

By eating, simple as that. Same as us--we get energy from the food we eat, too.

Dholes are endangered due to the lost of their habitat, deplition of their food source, and increasing number of their predators.

It is estimated that only 2500 still live in the wild today. For more details see the sites listed below.

There are many organization and laws dedicated to saving and protecting lemur's. There are only about 1000 hairy eared dwarf lemur's left in the wild.

Being a type of wild dog, they likely don't live long, unless the conditions for their survival are good.

Bengal tigers, leopards, pythons, and crocodiles prey on dholes.

The dhole, or red dog, does not hibernate. It is active year round.
