THE DHOLE, 
Or wild dog of the East Indies, is made like the 
dingo, but the hairs of the tail are not bushy. It is 
of a uniform bright red colour, and is found in South

the character of the last, but the hairs are longer, 
particularly on the tail. The back is brown-gray; 
the spots on the flanks and legs are ochrey; and 
the ground colour is gray, lightest on the belly.
