Mexican dhole (SciiFii)

The Mexican dhole (Cuon alpinus mexicanus), also known as the Mexican red dog, is a subspecies of dhole that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the forests, grasslands, open woodlands, rainforests, bushlands and mountainous areas across Mexico and North America to help boost biodiversity.

The Mexican dhole is about the size of and is almost identical to the Asiatic dhole (Cuon alpinus laniger), but with grayish red fur color. The Mexican dhole is also a highly social animal, living in large clans without rigid dominance hierarchies and containing multiple breeding females. Such clans usually consist of about 12 individuals, but groups of over 40 are known. It is a diurnal pack hunter which preferentially targets medium- and large-sized ungulates.

The conservation status of the Mexican dhole is Least Concern, unlike most other dhole subspecies (which are usually endangered or critically endangered), due to successful conservation efforts, the Mexican dhole's wide range, its immunity against most diseases and viruses (including those spread by domestic dogs), and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in rural areas, cities, and suburbs, similarly to coyotes.
