The image captures an information board about the Asiatic Wild Dog, also known as the Dhole (Cuon alpinus), likely within a zoo or wildlife park in Mysuru, India. The board, presented in both English and Kannada, is positioned outdoors with a metal mesh fence visible on its left, suggesting an animal enclosure. The board is slightly tilted to the left. The main subject of the board is the Dhole, with an illustration of the reddish-brown canid featured prominently at the top. The board provides comprehensive details, including its family (Canidae), habitat (forested areas, open steppes), natural diet (medium-sized mammals, rodents, hares), and zoo diet (beef and chicken). Its range spans Central and Eastern Asia, India, and Malay countries. Notable facts include its shoulder height (17-22 inches), life span (10-15 years), and weight (16-20 kg). The features section highlights its pack hunting ability, capable of fending off tigers and taking down prey 10 times its own weight. Dholes are social animals living in packs of 5-12 members, using a distinct whistling sound for identification. They practice cooperative breeding, led by a dominant monogamous pair, and have a gestation period of 60-63 days, averaging 3-6 pups per litter. A QR code is embedded on the board, presumably for more information. The conservation status is clearly marked as "Endangered," indicated by an arrow pointing to the corresponding label among other statuses like "Near Threatened," "Vulnerable," and "Critically Endangered." The ground beneath the board is earthy with some dry foliage. The scene appears to be set during daytime, with no specific weather conditions discernible.
