Sardinian dhole (SciiFii)

The Sardinian dhole (Cynotherium sardous), also known as the Sardinian wild dog and the brown dog, is a medium-sized species of canid that originally lived in the Mediterranean islands of Sardinia (Italy) and Corsica (France) during the Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Sardinia and Corsica to help boost biodiversity. The Sardinian dholes are rather small dogs, growing to be about 10 kilograms (22 lbs) on average. The Sardinian dholes are solitary animals, unlike their relatives, due to limited resources on Sardinia. Sardinian wild dogs are carnivorous and mainly prey on small and fast prey such as mice. The conservation status of the Sardinian wild dog is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the Sardinian dhole's tolerance to human activities and invasive competitors such as feral cats. Humans and many other sapient species do not view Sardinian dholes as threats and tolerate their presence, as there have never been reports of Sardinian dholes attacking sapient species or domestic animals, and are known to be tamed and easily domesticated as family pets.
