The Kaikadi is a breed of sighthound from India.[1][2][3] The Kaikadi are kept by the Kaikadi people, a nomadic tribe in Maharashtra and parts of Gujarat.[1][2] They are a particularly small and thin breed of sighthound standing between 38 and 46 centimetres (15 and 18 in) and weighing around 20 kilograms (44 lb).[1][2] They have long, thin legs and powerful thighs and hock joints, a long tapered tail, a long, thin head with prominent eyes, and erect ears.[1][2] Their short coat comes in a variety of colours, but white, tan and black are predominant.[2]

The Kaikadi are known for their exceptional speed. They usually hunt in packs for a variety of small game, particularly monkeys, rats, monitor lizards, mongoose and squirrels.[1][2] The breed is suspicious of strangers, and at night they work as watchdogs for their masters.[2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
