Rare species of animals that would amaze you! (the Dhole)

Did you know? 


The Dhole is a species of canid that lives in South and Southeast Asia.  The dhole is a highly social animal, living in large clans which occasionally split up into small packs to hunt.  It primarily preys on medium-sized ungulates- which it hunts by tiring them out in long chasing runs, and kills by disemboweling them. Though fearful of humans, the dhole packs are bold enough to attack large and dangerous animals such as wild boar, water buffalo, and even tigers.
