[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 771573, member: 571"] Most recently the domestic dog has been recognized as a subspecies of wolf, Canis lupis familiaris. Genetically speaking, you can't tell the two apart. The same applies to dingoes and similar feral canine populations around the world. Those feral dogs you find wandering the streets of many an Indian city are, strictly speaking, wolves. Foxes and jackals are canids, but not members of the genus Canis. The various species of foxes and jackals are spread between something like 3 genera. Hyenas on the other hand are most closely related to the civet. A cat like animal. I have not heard any change in the status of the coyote, which can interbreed with wolves, including those of the domestic dog subspecies. In ancient times you had such creatures as bear-dogs, ancestral to both bears and dogs, and dog like bears of all things. Britain has her spectral dogs, and Celtic lore has the hounds of the Wild Hunt. But for the largest dog-like animal that ever lived you can't beat the andrewsarchus, a one ton predator with huge jaws most closely related to the cow. But not, as it turns out, ancestral to the whale (that honor goes to another predatory ungulate.:)) Depending on how research goes, the PDF could get sizable. BTW, if you know where I can find information on condylartha, I'd be most appreciative. [/QUOTE]
