“By whose leave do ye come here?” said Mowgli.
“All Jungles are our Jungle,” was the reply, and the dhole that gave it bared his white teeth."

-The Second Jungle Book.

I'm sure that a lot of people on the web are not presently aware of this exotic species. I don't even think that they're aware of what it looks like. Thanks to you, it looks like that they are having a great comeback since Rudyard's 1895 coming of age classic. Sure, there were other ways of brining this to attention, someone else could've slap an image ripped off of Google or Wikipedia, or make a cheesy anthro and say this is a dhole. Class act?
With you, you were at the right time with the right artistic idea; as if this moment was practically gift-wrapped for you to show what a dhole looks like. You delivered it like a true deviant. The posing is awesome, the lighting makes it more surreal, and the animal itself it pretty impressive to look at. Like a genetic mix-up between a fox and a wolf, but more vicious and unpleasant like the literary antagonists portrayed in The Second Jungle Book. No wonder that many of Southeast Asia's communities consider the dhole as the outcasts of the jungle.
But all the same, I wish to see more of this from you, particularly in your taste.
