Another picture from my trip to the Toronto Zoo, last Saturday (10/28/07). While the sky was overcast, my flash helped make up for the lack of sunlight.
This is a picture of a lesser-known canid, though a quite interesting and handsome one - the dhole. Unfortunately, this species greatest claim to fame is being villains in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, ending up being killed by the dozens by the protagonists.
So,
danskunk, here's one of the pictures of the dhole. I hope it makes up a bit for the MIA skunk photograph...

Yeah well Kipling was an imperialist asshole, so his toxic opinion matters not. Dholes are beautiful and respectable creatures. Attaching character roles to entire species is a mark of lesser intellect. Lesser intellect is a sign of lesser metaphysical worth. Cute dhole with nice markings + fav!
