Description/Notes
Not all dogs are pets. In fact, around the world many canines are wild and even dangerous. Wild Dogs looks at wolves, coyotes, dingoes, African wild dogs, and many others of these untamed animals. Kids will enjoy learning about the 'wild side' of canines. From prehistoric times to modern days, dogs have roamed the earth. The most common wild dog is the wolf-which is also the genetic ancestor of every kind of breed of man's best friend, the domesticated dog. Wild dogs live all over the world, from the dingoes of the outback to the jackals of Africa and the Middle East to the bush dogs of South America. Find out about their habits, their habitats, and some myths and legends about these sometimes endangered animals. Wild Dogs covers the canine world, literally. Every continent (excluding Antarctica) has its own wild dog tales, from prehistoric ancestors to modern extinction issues. Science, history, folktales, myths, and magic-information about these amazing animals gives us a better picture of wild dogs and their world.
