Answer: Assam
Notes: Recently, a study by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) confirmed the return of the dhole, or Asiatic wild dog (Cuon alpinus), to Assam’s Kaziranga-Karbi Anglong Landscape (KKAL). This endangered canid was once thought to be extinct in the area and had its last northeast India sighting in Nagaland in 2011. Dholes need large, undisturbed forests, and their return highlights the importance of conserving wildlife corridors like KKAL. Their global range has shrunk due to habitat loss, prey decline, and retaliatory killings.
