Examples
The canids fare well because they face little competition for abundant prey and few dangers to their young.
They’re canids, like dogs, so it would be easy to compare them to a domesticated species, but they’re not particularly closely related to dogs, so there’s enough separation to see how forced domestication affects a new species.
Kershenbaum studies “Wolves & other canids,” “Dolphins & cetaceans” — and “Aliens.”
Social animals are the most easily subjugated by man, and several species of Canid hunt in packs.
When compared with all known members of the family of Canid they betray a distinct and abnormal origin.
De Blainville ('Ostographie, Canid,' p. 137) has also seen an extra molar on both sides.
Amongst mammals, we see it strikingly displayed in Bats, and in a lesser degree in the Felid and Canid.
The oldest and most central stock appears to be that of the dog family (Canid).
