    Thanks AD for pointing me to this thread. I'm surprised that so few zoos have this species on exhibit.

    Which I assume have wild caught ancestors? Having had the chance to see their southern cousins in the wild, I would definitely like to see this pack in person as well.

    I believe the pack is descended from the Toronto pack which was built from wild caught imports. I think most dholes in North America have ties to the Toronto pack for just that reason.
