This article presents a study that found increasing numbers of wild dogs (Cuon alpinus) corresponded to decreasing numbers of wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Bhutan. This has important implications since there has been a population boom of prey species, such as wild boar, in recent times. Because wild boar are also agricultural pests, some farmers are moving away from the practice of killing wild dogs and are instead taking precautions to prevent wild dogs from attacking domestic livestock. The study also compares the habitat of wild dogs to that of leopards and tigers. (Ben Deitle 2006-02-09)
