Dhole

The dhole is a wild dog found across parts of Asia, from forests to grasslands. Unlike its wolf cousins, it has a uniquely curved skull and fewer teeth, with molars that have just one sharp point instead of several.

• Its skull has a convex shape, unlike the concave skulls of most canines.
• It once roamed as far as Europe during the Ice Age.
• Today, it’s vanished from Central Asia and parts of its former Southeast Asian range.
