The Adjule, also known as Kelb-el-khela, is a canine cryptid, claimed to inhabit the North African region, especially the areas in and around Sahara Desert in Mauritania. Reported primarily by the nomadic Tuaregs, and Théodore Monod in 1928, the adjule is said to be a totally unknown canine which takes the form of a dog or wolf, but today is described as isolated population of African wild dog. Some alternative names are kelb el khela ("bush dog") for the male and tarhsît for the female.

  • Adjule, tunnetaan myös nimellä Kelb-el-khela, on koiraeläintä muistuttava kryptidi, jonka väitetään elävän Pohjois-Afrikassa, varsinkin Saharassa Mauritaniassa. Adjulen väitetään olevan tuntematon koiraeläin, joka näyttää näyttää koiran ja suden risteymältä. Yksi selitys Adjuleille on eristäytynyt lauma afrikkalaisia villikoiria. Adjulen toinen nimitys kelb-el-khela tarkoittaa "puskakoiraa". Ehkäpä tunnetuin havainto Adjulesta on Mauritanian rannikkoalueelta vuodelta 1992. Tuolloin Itä-Saharan rannikkoalueilla elävät metsästäjät näkivät villikoiraa muistuttavan eläimen, joka saalisti laumassa. Havainnot saattavat koskea alueella harvinaisia hyeenakoiria. Resident Evil-pelissä esiintyy Adjule-niminen hahmo.

Some alternative names are kelb el khela ("bush dog") for the male and tarhsît for the female. However, despite a continuing firm belief in its existence due to urban myths, this cryptid has since been debunked and its sightings attributed to wild canines mistaken for the adjule, such as the African Wild Dog which is now extinct in certain areas of the Sahara. There is one unconfirmed sighting of a canid-like animal from the coastal area of Mauritania in 1992; hunters living in the coastal areas of the Western Sahara, to the north of Mauritania, described an animal resembling a wild dog, which hunted in packs. However, this was not confirmed for Lycaon pictus species (IUCN/CSG, 1997).
