The Canidae today includes a diverse group of some 37 species ranging in size from the maned wolf with its long limbs to the short-legged bush dog. Modern canids inhabit forests, tundra, savannahs, and deserts throughout tropical and temperate parts of the world.
Dogs (Canines) are carnivores and started to evolve separately from cats (Felines) about 50 million years ago. The earliest fossils so far were found in Texas
