"Sumatran dhole The Sumatran dhole (""Cuon alpinus sumatrensis"" syn. ""Cuon alpinus javanicus""), also known as the Javan dhole or the Sumatran wild dog is a possible subspecies of dhole native to the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java. As it is also distributed in the Malayan Peninsula, it is thus also known as the Malayan wild dog. As of 2005, the origin of the Sumatran dhole is unclear, as it shows a greater relatedness to the Ussuri dhole rather than with dholes in nearby Malaysia. In the absence of further data, it is speculated that the dholes of Indonesia could"
"Domestic goose Domestic geese (""Anser anser domesticus"" or ""Anser cygnoides domesticus"") are domesticated grey geese (either greylag geese or swan geese) that are kept by humans as poultry for their meat, eggs, and down feathers since ancient times. In Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia, the original domesticated geese are derived from the greylag goose (""Anser anser""). In eastern Asia, the original domesticated geese are derived from the swan goose (""Anser cygnoides""); these are commonly known as Chinese geese. Both have been widely introduced in more recent times, and modern flocks in both areas (and elsewhere, such as Australia and"

Ussuri dhole The Ussuri dhole (""Cuon alpinus alpinus""), also known as the Indian dhole, eastern Asiatic dhole, Chinese dhole or southern dhole is a subspecies of the dhole native to East Asia.

"Donkey The donkey or ass (""Equus africanus asinus"") is a domesticated member of the horse family, Equidae. The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African wild ass, ""E. africanus"". The donkey has been used as a working animal for at least 5000 years. There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly in underdeveloped countries, where they are used principally as draught or pack animals. Working donkeys are often associated with those living at or below subsistence levels. Small numbers of donkeys are kept for breeding or as pets in developed countries. A male donkey or ass"

Ussuri dholes may also be threatened by fellow apex predators such as tigers, leopards, wolves, striped hyenas and bears, and formerly by Asiatic lions and Asiatic cheetahs. In India, the Ussuri dhole is under protection by the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. In 2014, the Indian government sanctioned its first dhole conservation breeding centre at the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park (IGZP) in Visakhapatnam. In Cambodia, the dhole is protected from all hunting, while conservation laws in"

A domestic animal's breeding is controlled by humans and its tameness and tolerance of humans is genetically determined. However, an animal merely bred in captivity is not necessarily domesticated. Tigers, gorillas, and polar bears breed readily in captivity but are not domesticated. Asian elephants are wild animals that with taming manifest outward signs of domestication, yet their breeding is not human controlled and thus they are not true domesticates.

On few occasions, Ussuri dholes also hunt elephant calves and may also feed on onagers and kiangs. Dholes are listed as an endangered species due to low densities. However, threats such as poaching, illegal hunting and the fur trade no longer pose significant threats to dholes. The species is highly protected in many countries, such as in Cambodia. The dholes in certain regions are mostly threatened by lack of prey and"
"Domesticated quail A domesticated quail is a domestic form of the quail, a collective name which refers to a group of several small species of fowl. Thousands of years of breeding and domestication have guided the bird's evolution. Humans domesticated quail for its meat and egg production; additionally, quail can be kept as pets. Domesticated quail are commonly kept in long wire cages and are fed game bird feed. The most common domesticated breed is the Coturnix quail (also known as the Japanese quail). Quail live on the ground, and rarely fly unless forced to do so. Twenty types of"
"Red junglefowl The red junglefowl (""Gallus gallus"") is a tropical member of the family Phasianidae. It is the primary progenitor of the domestic chicken (though genetic evidence strongly suggests some past hybridisation with the grey junglefowl, as well). The red junglefowl was first domesticated at least 5000 years ago in Asia. Since then, its domestic form has spread around the world and is kept globally as a very productive food source of both meat and eggs. The range of the wild form stretches from India, eastwards across Indochina and southern China and into Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Junglefowl"

Chickens were domesticated at least 7,000 years ago, with fossils in China from c. 5400 BCE. The chicken's wild ancestor is ""Gallus gallus"", the red junglefowl of Southeast Asia, and another species, probably the grey junglefowl of India. It appears to have been kept initially"
"off pieces of the carcass and eat in seclusion. Unlike wolf packs, in which the breeding pair monopolises food, dholes give priority to the pups when feeding at a kill, allowing them to eat first. They are generally tolerant of scavengers at their kills. Both mother and young are provided with regurgitated food by other pack members. Prey animals in India include chital, sambar deer, muntjac, mouse deer, barasingha, wild boar, gaur, water buffaloes, banteng, cattle, nilgai, goats, Indian hares, Himalayan field rats and langurs.

Tame animal A tame animal is an animal that is relatively tolerant of human presence. Tameness may arise either naturally (as in the case, for example, of island tameness) or due to human intervention (as the result of animal training). Taming is the deliberate, human-directed process of training an animal against its initially wild or natural instincts to avoid or attack humans, so that it instead learns to become tolerant of humans."

In captivity, they eat various kinds of grasses, herbs and leaves, seemingly for pleasure rather than just when ill. In summertime in the Tian Shan Mountains, dholes eat large quantities of mountain rhubarb. Although opportunistic, dholes have a seeming aversion to hunting cattle and their calves. Livestock predation by dholes has been a problem in Bhutan since the late 1990s, as domestic animals are often left outside to graze"
"dhole is a highly social animal, living in large clans without rigid dominance hierarchies and containing multiple breeding females. Such clans usually consist of 12 individuals, but groups of over 40 are known. It is a diurnal pack hunter which preferentially targets medium and large sized ungulates. In tropical forests, the dhole competes with tigers and leopards, targeting somewhat different prey species, but still with substantial dietary overlap. It is listed as Endangered by the IUCN as populations are decreasing and are estimated at fewer than 2,500 adults. Factors contributing to this decline include habitat loss, loss of prey, competition"

Canids such as the dhole are now endangered in the wild because of persecution, habitat loss, a depletion of ungulate prey species and transmission of diseases from domestic dogs. All extant species of family Canidae are in subfamily Caninae.

Its scientific name means ""dog-beast of Sardinia"".
