amazing,considering the small size of this canid it had no fear of the hugs stag. as for going for a "throat kill" if see mant canines do this. coyotes will go for a deer's throat as will a wolf,but often times they attack from the rear to avoid being gored by antlers/horns.
they just open up the hind quarters or side of the abdomen and disembowel the prey.
Interesting, it seems like the dhole went for a throat kill. Most canid pack hunters like wolves and African wild dogs tear into their prey's abdomen first and begin devouring them while they're still in the process of dying.
thats indian every where empty , only animals running around.. every human has left 4 america or england.. .. so am thinking abt we should all go 2 india 2 live n see if they follow us?lol
This documentary must've been filmed during the 1990s or early to mid 2000s because the logo for ANIMAL PLANET had a globe and a sillouhette of an elephant. A much better logo imho, not the stupid logo the have now with the m in animal moved sideways. Why they changed that logo is beyond me.
Not to mention the amazing wildlife documentaries they had. Not like now, with so many animal cops ( Detroit, New York, Miami etc ). Don't get me wrong, I love animals and I try to do everything I can to prevent them from being tortured and it really breaks my spirit watching those poor animals being given a treatment not even the worst criminals would deserve. But I don't think wildlife documentaries should be almost fully forgotten, like in Animal Planet's case.
You're absolutely right. They should air more documentaries like this David Attenborough special instead of all the animal cops shows. Animal Planet should air reruns of MUTUAL OF OMAHA'S WILD KINGDOM with Marlin Perkins.
dhole are endangered species need to conserve. Thery are the most elusive of indian mammal and theretened by loss of preying species and persecutions by humans.
Despite of its size thy are also the most effective in hunting.
India would be incredible if there weren as many people. I mean naturally india has elephants, huge eagles, the most amount of spiecies of deer anywere in the world, and big predators - lions, leopards, cheetahs, tigers, wolves, dholes and striped hyenas - all lived in india just a 100 years ago. Such awsome nature... But the people... SHAME SHAME SHAME!!! Makes me wanna cry
India is still a huge country, so in fact there you are less likley to run into people in india than you are in lets say california. Some parts of india, especially northeren parts, you can basically walk for hundreds of miles in any direction and not run into a single person
@105km what do you know about India anyways? British ruled for about 100 odd years and the moghuls ruled for good part of 700 yrs... muslims breed like animals... british made sure the country went poor! plus they were the single reason to almost extinct the asiatic lions!!!! nbody complains about them! hello! there were just 25 asiantic rare lions left in the wild... british completely exterminated the asiatic cheetah! only few are left in Iran zoo!!!! get ur facts right instead of complaining!
dont blame the british you breed like rabbits. If you have got no means to feed yourself - why have 8 children??? I agree they did you wrong, but the shit your in now isnt entirley their foult. And hunting had always been a part of indian culture. Catching asiatic cheetahs and using them in hunting is what made them extinct. Bottom line - overpopulation is the reson for extinctions, poverty - all of your problems. And Hinduism - one of the dumbest religiosn ever - probably aswell
Awesome.I've been looking all over for a documentary about dholes. What is this one called? Is there a dvd release and/or do you think they will reair it on Animal Planet?
"Working as a pack enables them to take down prey much larger than themselves."
Yes and no. Having a pack always helps, but you can clearly see @ 0:23 one of the Dholes grabs the stag's neck. At that instant the fight was over, he could have killed it alone. The other two dholes attacking only sped up the process really.
I would have to disagree with that. Working in a pack helps to distract and exhaust the prey so it's easier to take down. However, I can't be 100% sure if that individual could have been successful in killing the deer on it's own.
It makes it easier, like you said. It **helps** to distract and exhaust. All wild canids have tremendous amounts of stamina, an individual Dhole is more than capable of wearing down a chital stag, although it would take longer than having multiple dholes present (thus being less efficient).
As I previously stated, the extra two dholes sped of the process.
canids do eat prey alive, maybe dholes are different though, besides, they are elusive and not that known..i agree that they need a team to bring down such a prey but a single dhole can bring down one of the foals or the females of the same prey item, it will just take longer, as for stags, it might be too risky for a lone dhole.
what a pretty deer, at least it didnt get its ass chewed off...

True, also I think
+ having numbers probably healps defend the kill
- more mouths
This is weared! Did that dhole just do a throat bite? I tought canids cant do that. Wolves, wild dogs ect just eat the prey alive. Hyenas too
