"A Legendary Red Predator Has Been Filmed Alive for the First Time After 20 Years Presumed Gone

Scientists finally photographed the endangered red wolf. Then they analyzed a decade of camera trap data and realized the image was not a comeback. It was a warning.

For the first time in over two decades, a camera trap in Vietnam has photographed a dhole, an endangered Asian wild dog also known as the red wolf. The image, captured on December 31, 2023, in Pu Hoat Nature Reserve, ended a 20 year dry spell with no confirmed wild sightings of the species in the country.

But here is what the researchers who published the finding in the journal *Oryx* want you to understand: that single photograph is not evidence of a recovery. It is more likely evidence of an extinction already in progress.

Between 2014 and 2024, scientists deployed 3,231 camera traps at 1,657 stations across 31 sites within the dhole’s historical range in Vietnam. The total survey effort reached 269,524 camera trap nights. Seven of those sites were surveyed multiple times. Not a single other dhole was recorded. The authors conclude the species is 'likely extirpated across most protected areas in Vietnam.'"

Reading about the dhole:
long, canid, rounded ears,
not fox, not wolf,
chattery, whistly,
as your cheeks fluff out
and look, there's paws,
fur, snout and tail,
less focused on reading
and more interested in
being a dhole,
a good way to learn,
maybe others will join you~ ❤️
