Albinism in wild dog documented at Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary

In what could be termed as a first for dholes (wild dogs), a partial albino dhole (Cuon alpinus) has been photo-documented in Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary. The photographic record was documented in the Sangama range of Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary by Sanjay Gubbi and his team of Nature Conservation Foundation and Holématthi Nature Foundation. The current camera-trapping exercise was conducted as part of the long-term population monitoring of leopards.
