Look at how developed the head and neck is on this male Red Fox. Looks very DHOLE-ish. |

Maybe...a hybrid? Or are they not genetically close enough to breed? |

Looks like a pretty ordinary fox to me. And no, foxes and dholes cannot interbreed. In fact the dhole (Cuon) is more closely related to the wolf (Canis) than the black-backed jackal (also classified as Canis) is. Foxes (Vulpes et al) are the outgroup to this clade.

Pffff. I would say it is ordinary too. Or are its legs shorter...?

Maybe it does have short legs, but the head and neck aren't ordinary, by any means. Stop it at 0:30. |
