''Wild Dog Diaries'' is a wild life film portraying the behaviour of wild dogs (''Cuon alpinus''). The film was directed by the photographer duo of Krupakar-Senani and mainly picturised in the Bandipur National Park and the Mudumalai National Park of India. ==Premise== The film centres around a pack of dholes, canids native to Central and Southeast Asia. The dhole is a highly social animal, living in large clans without rigid dominance hierarchies.〔Fox, M. W. (1984), ''The Whistling Hunters: Field Studies of the Indian Wild Dog'' (Cuon Alpinus), Steven Simpson Books, p. 85, ISBN 0-9524390-6-9〕 Such clans usually consist of 12 individuals, but groups of over 40 are known.〔Cohen, J. A. (1978), ''(Cuon alpinus )''. ''Mammalian Species'' 100: 1-3.〕 It is a diurnal pack hunter which preferentially targets medium and large sized ungulates.〔Durbin, L.S., Venkataraman, A., Hedges, S. & Duckworth, W. (2004) (Dhole ''Cuon alpinus'' (Pallas 1811) ), in Sillero-Zubiri, C., Hoffmann, M. & Macdonald, D.W. (eds), ''Canids: Foxes, Wolves, Jackals and Dogs: Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan'', IUCN/SSC Canid Specialist Group. Gland, Switzerland and Cambridge, UK. x + pp. 210-219〕 It is listed as Endangered by the IUCN, on account of its decreasing population, which is now estimated at less than 2,500 adults. Factors contributing to this decline include habitat loss, loss of prey, competition with other species, persecution, and disease transfer from domestic dogs.〔 Database entry includes justification for why this species is endangered〕
