Abstract
Dholes have disappeared from many of their former habitats and of the five subspecies in South Asia only C. a. dukhunensis, C. a. infuscus and C. a. adjustus are reportedly common. It is hypothesized that disappearance from a habitat well stocked with prey may be because of disease. Creation of many Tiger Reserves south of Ganges in India and the proposal to establish many Wildlife parks to Burma may ensure the survival of the above mentioned three subspecies temporarily.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
