Spatial ecology and diet of the dhole Cuon alpinus (Canidae, Carnivora) in north central Thailand Academic Article

abstract

• Two adult male dholesCuon alpinusbelonging to 2 different packs were radio collared and tracked between March 2000 and October 2002 in Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand. Dholes occupied cumulative ranges (95% minimum convex polygon) of 12.0 km2(n= 39) and 49.5 km2(n= 62), traveled an average of 2,214 m each day (n= 27, 2,422 m, range 25-9,469), and were primarily active during diurnal and crepuscular periods (n= 927 activity readings, 46% active). Dhole diet using scat analysis (n= 172) and identification of carcasses (n= 14) consisted only of ungulates. Dhole range primarily included forested habitat, although some individuals also were observed hunting in grasslands.
