They also offer an excellent contrast to felids, which remain entrenched in extreme predatory specializations. With their rich fossil record, diverse adaptations to various environments, and different predatory specializations, canids are an ideal model organism for the mapping of predator behavior and morphological specializations.

Such a wonderfully detailed evolutionary history provides access to a natural history that is not possible with many other groups of carnivorans. The fossil record of the Canidae, particularly those from their birth place in North America, are the strongest of their kind among known groups of carnivorans.

The authors cull their history from the most recent scientific research conducted on the vast collections of the American Museum of Natural History and other leading institutions. Combining their research with Mauricio Antón's impeccable reconstructions of both extinct and extant species, Wang and Tedford present a remarkably detailed and nuanced portrait of the origin and evolution of canids over the past 40 million years. Both are well known for having established the modern framework for the evolutionary relationship of canids. Tedford have spent the past 20 years studying the evolutionary history of the family Canidae. Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.
