Episode 322:: Dholes in Danger

One of the most endangered large carnivores in the world is a native canid from Asia, the Dhole. These incredible relatives to all other species of canids like wolves, foxes and others, have suffered due to human exploration and habitat loss. It is sad, because the Dhole is such an incredibly unique carnivore. They split nearly 2 million years ago from other canids and have scratched out an important role in the southern reaches of Asia. We have so much more to learn and do to protect this precious species. With only around 220 breeding adults, we need to move quick or this species will be lost for eternity.
