- Cuon alpinus (Pallas, 1811) —Dhole Canis alpinus Pallas, 1811 p.34; Type locality- Amur, Russia. Cuon alpinus: Kishida & Mori, 1931 p.379; Kuroda, 1938 p.37; Ellerman & Morrison-Scott, 1951 p.233; Won, 1968 p.268; Han, 1994 p.46; Won & Smith, 1999 p.15. Cuon alpinus alpinus: Won, 1968 p.268; Yoon, 1992 p.97. Range: The original distribution of the dhole ranged throughout the Korean Peninsula (Jo & Baccus 2015). Presence of dholes around Mt. Baekdu (3 individuals observed in 1988 at Chail-peak Plateau) in extreme northeastern Korea were reported until the 1990s (Jin & Ouh 1990; Fig. 57), but the current status of dholes remains uncertain. Remarks: The populations of northeastern Asia -including Korea- were classified as C. a. alpinus (Pallas, 1811) . Conservation status: The North Korean government designated C. alpinus as an Endangered Species (MAB National Committee of DPR Korea 2002; Democratic People’s Republic of Korea 2007). The South Korean population became exterminated before the 1970s, with no conservation action taking place in South Korea (Jo & Baccus 2015). All populations of northeastern Asia are considered extinct (Venkataraman & Johnsingh 2004). CITES lists the species on Appendix II.
