Does anyone know anything about the Wong Shang Dhole?

Question

I heard about this animal on The X-Files (don't start), but I can only find passing mentions of it. I was hoping maybe someone could tell me what they know, or point me towards somewhere I could find information on it...?

I'm just curious. (Especially considering the animal they used on X-Files was definitely a wolf-dog, no semblance to a dhole....)

Don't go to Reasons I link....It's a virus

Answer 2

I believe it's actually the Wangshang Dhole.  (1850) Around this year it is believed that The Chinese Wanshang Dhole wild dog  is believed to have become extinct. The dog, a scavanger, is also the basis for Chinese myth  and legend which calls it a trickster dog, able to open doors, steal wives and disappear  into thin air. The Wangshang Dhole may also be related to a form of Chinese werewolf, which does not become extinct.
