1st reflective journal

sorry for the very late post as my computer has been down for some days. so to start off, my group members and i have been researching for information of a whale called the Sperm whale, and a fox called Dhole.

i'm going to give more information about the Dhole first.

The Dhole or Asiatic Wild Dog (Cuon alpinus) is about the size of a border collie (12-18 kg), but looks quite different. The coat is usually a rusty red colour, but varies regionally from sandy yellow to dark grey, usually it has a black bushy tail and white patches on its chest, paws and belly, its ears are rounded, and its hooded amber eyes portray an intelligent nature. The Dhole is a highly social and cooperative animal, living in organised packs of around 10 individuals. Groups often contain more males than females, with usually just one breeding female. Occasionally, large groups of over 40 dogs have been seen, possibly arising from the temporary fusion of neighbouring packs.
