The dhole ( ; 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. During the Pleistocene, the dhole ranged throughout Asia, with its range also extending into Europe (with a single putative, controversial record also reported from North America) but became restricted to its historical range 12,000–18,000 years ago. It is now ex
The dhole is a wild dog native to South, East, and Southeast Asia that differs from other canids in distinctive ways, including having a convex skull, lacking a third lower molar, and having upper molars with only a single cusp. Once widespread across Asia and even parts of Europe during the Pleistocene, the dhole's range has significantly shrunk over the past 12,000 to 18,000 years to its present-day distribution.
