What Is This Animal Answer

In one of my recent posts I had a "Mystery Animal" which I will be telling about in today's post.
                                             The name is at the bottom of the post.

The Dhole
"Mystery Animal"
This animal is a canid (this means it is a mammal in the dog family) who lives in India, Vietnam and several other southeastern Asian countries.

 They are very sociable animals who live in packs of around 5 to 12 members but they will sometimes hunt and play with members from other packs.

 These animals eat types of deer, wild boar, gaur, fruit, vegetables, water buffalo, and rabbits. After an animal is caught, they always let the pups eat before they do. This animal is know to take down a tiger, bear or other large animal of the such; but the normally stay away from humans.

 The Mystery Animal uses an eerie whistle to communicate with each other. They also use a variety of other noises, including clucks and high-pitched screams that are not found anywhere else in the canid families.

 These animal are on the endangered species list due to diseases that they get from domesticate dogs and form being hunted.


                                           The Mystery Animal is a Dhole.
