The canids are the wolf, dog and fox family of the mammal
group Carnivora, They are characterized by having long
snouts and they are long-legged running specialists, built for
'dogged' pursuit of prey, rather than a stealthy stalk-and-
pounce like the cats. Canids first appeared in the fossil
record in the Eocene Epoch, some 40 million years ago.
Many species have come and gone, including the dire wolf,
Canisdirus, of North America - many specimens of which
have been excellentlypreserved in La Brea Pits of tar pools
in Los Angeles (see opposite). The grey wolf (common
wolf), Canislupus, has a long fossil history and is the
