In what appears to be a strange sighting in an urban area, a dhole (Cuon alpinis), also known as Asiatic wild dog, was spotted on the banks of Ukkadam tank on Monday. D. Gajamohanraj, a city-based wildlife photographer and nature enthusiast, spotted a lone dhole on the banks of the urban waterbody in the morning. Mr. Gajamohanraj had gone to the tank for birding and he saw a canine chasing crows on the tank bund. “On the first sight itself I was sure it was a dhole. I was really taken aback as sighting a dhole in the heart of Coimbatore city was something strange,” he said.More Related News
