The dhole (/ d oʊ l / dohl; [2] [3] Cuon alpinus) is a canid native to South, East and Southeast Asia.It is anatomically distinguished from members of the genus Canis in several aspects: its skull is convex rather than concave in profile, it lacks a third lower molar and the upper molars possess only a single cusp as opposed to between two and four.
The European dhole (Cuon alpinus europaeus) was a paleosubspecies of the dhole, which ranged throughout much of Western and Central Europe during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. Like the modern Asiatic populations, it was a more progressive form than other prehistoric members of the genus Cuon , having transformed its lower molar tooth into a ...
European dhole: Cuon alpinus europaeus: Central, Southern Europe and the Caucasus Most recent remains dated to 7050-6550 BCE in Riparo Fredian, Italy (with doubts) [33] and Les Coves de Santa Maira, Spain. [34] Claims of 21st century presence of dhole in the Caucasus are erroneous. [35] Sardinian dhole: Cynotherium sardous: Corsica and Sardinia
During the Pleistocene, the dhole ranged throughout Asia, Europe, and North America but became restricted to its historical range 12,000–18,000 years ago. Pages in category "Dhole" The following 6 pages are in this category, out of 6 total.
The Ussuri dhole [1] (Cuon alpinus alpinus), also known as the Eastern Asiatic dhole and the Chinese dhole, is the nominate subspecies of the dhole wild dog native to Asia.The Ussuri dhole subspecies is originally native to the Russian Far East and parts of China, the Korean Peninsula and Mongolia, though it is presumed regionally extinct or extirpated in most of its historical range, and it ...
The Sardinian dhole (genus Cynotherium especially C. sardous) is an extinct insular canid which was endemic to what is now the Mediterranean islands of Sardinia and Corsica during the Middle-Late Pleistocene. It went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene around the time of human settlement of the islands.
The Tian Shan dhole (Cuon alpinus hesperius), also known as the Siberian dhole, Western Asiatic dhole, [3] or northern dhole is an extinct subspecies of dhole native to the Altai and Tian Shan mountain ranges, and possibly Pamir. Only 15 records of captured and killed specimens are known, and it most likely went extinct since 1946.
Dhole DNA was detected in the Pamir Mountains in 2022, which are within the Tien Shan dhole's range, so it is most likely rediscovered (List of Asian animals extinct in the Holocene). The one that might be extinct instead is the Ussuri dhole, which as pointed in Makenov above has not been seen since 2008 and in an area so close to the Tien Shan ...
