Not the drums, the wild dogs.
The Indian Wild Dog or Dhole (not much details on the etymology of the name), is currently 'Endangered' according to the IUCN Red List.
The dholes are audacious hunters, with incredible strategies to bring down its prey. An alpha male on the lookout for prey.
Dholes are extremely social animals and spend a lot of time goofing around.
They never attack human beings, but run away on approach. If approached carefully, can remain undisturbed by human presence.
Their habitat is under constant threat. Moreover, the 'urban' public has very little knowledge about them.

Best place to see them - Western Ghat Forests, especially Nagarhole and Parambikulam.
