DHOLE

The dhole (red dog or Asiatic wild dog) is two species of wild dog, one found in Siberia and the other in India. The Indian dhole is about the size of a bull terrier and is distinguished from the genus Canis or dog proper by its having one molar fewer in either side of the lower jaw. It hunts in packs feeding mainly on deer and antelope. It has a reputation for great courage, and is alleged to drive bears, leopards and even tigers from their kills.
