Dhole

The Dhole is sometimes called the Asiatic or Indian wild dog, or red dog.  Its
scientific name is Cuon alpinus.  The Dhole is, like the wolf and fox, a
mammal of the order carnivora, and the only member of the genus Cuon.  They
are more closely related to arctic foxes and African wild dogs than wolves.
They have single-cusped carnassial teeth (the slicing teeth at the sides
[unlike wolves which have two cusps]).  In addition their front paw pads are
fused and they have more teats than other canids. Among its unusual features
is a strange whistle call which it uses to re-assemble the pack when animals
become separated in dense forest.
