释义

canid

/ˈkanɪd /
noun Zoology
A mammal of the dog family (Canidae).Unlike most large canids, wild dogs do not announce their presence by howling, but with a scent message that can last for months....
  • In canids such as wolves or wild dogs, usually only the dominant, or alpha, male and female in a pack reproduce, but younger group members hunt with the mother and return to the den to regurgitate predigested meat into the mouths of her pups.
  • Adult turtles have relatively few natural predators, although sharks and saltwater crocodiles are known to consume adults, and nesting females are preyed upon by coyotes and other canids.

Origin

Late 19th century: from modern Latin Canidae (plural), from Latin canis 'dog'.
