Editing Dhole (section)

===Denning===
Four kinds of den have been described; simple earth dens with one entrance (usually remodeled [[striped hyena]] or [[porcupine]] dens); complex cavernous earth dens with more than one entrance; simple cavernous dens excavated under or between rocks; and complex cavernous dens with several other dens in the vicinity, some of which are interconnected. Dens are typically located under dense scrub or on the banks of dry rivers or creeks. The entrance to a dhole den can be almost vertical, with a sharp turn three to four feet down. The tunnel opens into an antechamber, from which extends more than one passage. Some dens may have up to six entrances leading up to {{cvt|30|m}} of interconnecting tunnels. These "cities" may be developed over many generations of dholes, and are shared by the clan females when raising young together.<ref name="f43">{{Harvnb|Fox|1984|pp=43–49}}</ref> Like [[African wild dog]]s and [[dingo]]es, dholes will avoid killing prey close to their dens.<ref name="f80"/>
