“…Such extremes in diets are reflected in their dentition, because while most canids have 42 teeth well-suited for generalist diets (e.g., carnassials for shearing flesh and molars for omnivory), bat-eared foxes have up to 50 less-specialized teeth (the most of any land mammal) for extreme insectivory (Klare et al, 2011), whereas the dholes, bush dogs, and African wild dogs have reduced or absent molars and enhanced carnassials for hypercarnivory (Van Valkenburgh, 1991). Canids are found in nearly all terrestrial habitats, including such extremes as Arctic tundra (Arctic fox [Vulpes lagopus]), desert (fennec fox), tropical forest (dhole [Cuon alpinus]), high-altitude environments (e.g., Ethiopian wolf, Marino, 2003; Himalayan wolf [C. [lupus] himalayensis], Werhahn et al, 2017Werhahn et al, , 2018 and human cities (e.g., coyote [C. latrans]). Some even partially exploit aquatic (e.g., short-eared dog [Atelocynus microtis], de Oliveira, 2009; British Columbia coastal wolf, Darimont and Paquet, 2002;Stronen et al, 2012) and arboreal (e.g., gray fox [Urocyon cinereoargenteus], Trapp and Hallberg, 1975) habitats.…”
