It is long-limbed for its size.[/I] Dholes are highly social canids that live in large clans, which may include many dozen animals. The clan may hunt together, or split into several "hunting packs", depending on the circumstances. Dholes will hunt a wide range of animals, but specialize in big herbivores such as wild boar, antelope, or buffalo. Dholes dig dens to raise their young in, typically in a dry riverbed or under an area of scrub. A dhole den can range from a simple hole or a re-purposed porcupine lair, to an elaborate network of interconnecting tunnels and chambers, with many entrances. The larger dens often accommodates multiple dhole mothers and their pups. A clan of dholes may use an ancestral den site which has been slowly expanded over many generations. Dhole packs maintain frequent communication when hunting or travelling. They use whistling "coo-coo" sounds to guide each other through difficult terrain. When attacking prey, their screams sound like "KaKaKaKaa". A typical dhole is 3 feet long (not including tail) and stands 18 to 22 inches tall at the shoulder. It weighs 30 to 40 pounds. [B]COMBAT[/B] Dholes are afraid of humanoids and avoid them whenever possible. They show little fear of other animals, and use pack tactics to hunt animals far stronger than an individual dhole. In exceptional cases, a clan of dholes will unite to kill creatures as powerful as bears, leopards, elephants or tigers, even though a bear or tiger can kill a dozen dholes before being slain. Dholes usually chase their prey to exhaustion and then attack from all sides simultaneously, making much use of flanking attacks and Aid Another actions. Dholes are good swimmers, and often chase prey into water to limit their victim's movement. Dholes are ferocious and tenacious fighters, and a pack or clan may endure many casualties before deciding to retreat.
