The term '''dog''' may refer to a number of organisms, but is used here to describe the domesticated [[canine]]. Canines are the [[List of most popular phenotypes|most popular phenotypes]] of [[furries]], with a significant number of these being domestic dogs.

==Species overview==

The domestic dog (''Canis lupus familiaris'') is a subspecies of the [[gray wolf]] (or grey wolf) (''Canis lupus'') and a member of the family [[Canidae]].<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/06/the-origin-of-dogs/484976/</ref> Dogs are [[carnivorous]] [[mammal]]s, though generalization about the subspecies is problematic because of the extreme variation brought about by the result of their domestication. Most dogs will eat almost any type of food. A few things may be said to be generally true:

Dogs can perceive sounds across a wider range than that of [[human]]s, from 20 Hz to 100 KHz (as opposed to 20 Hz to 20 KHz) and, thanks to mobility in their ears, can localize sound with greater precision. In addition, their sense of smell is significantly more advanced: it is said that a [[Wikipedia:bloodhound|bloodhound]] can detect a single drop of blood diluted with five gallons of water.

Their sight allows them keen perception of motion, and their field of vision is larger than that of humans (while still following the binocular vision typical of the [[carnivore]] pattern); however, they are dichromats and therefore functionally colorblind. Their visual acuity is relatively low, with much sensory input being olfactory and auditory. Dogs have great night vision.<ref>https://www.petfinder.com/dogs/bringing-a-dog-home/facts-about-new-dog/</ref>

They are generally less robust than their wild ancestors, with a less pronounced [[muzzle]] and an overall reduced muscular structure. Some of this may have to do with their upbringing; tellingly, wolf puppies raised apart from their society from birth develop some similar traits. However, with hundreds of breeds ranging from the [[Wikipedia:Yorkshire terriers|Yorkshire terrier]] to the [[Wikipedia:mastiff|mastiff]], and the [[Wikipedia:basset hound|basset hound]] to the [[Wikipedia:saluki|saluki]], such generalizations have only limited value in describing the subspecies as a whole.

==Dogs and human beings==
Wolves domesticated at some point greater than fifteen thousand years ago (possibly as long ago as one hundred thousand years or more) form the basis for all modern canine stock; the dog is in fact identified taxonomically as a subspecies of ''Canis lupus''. The relationship since then has been cozy; ritual burials suggest a close association between the two species as early as the Mesolithic.

In modern context dogs have many roles within human society. Many are "employed" in search and rescue and drug/contraband location; others act as seeing-eye or assistance dogs. Throughout history they have served as everything from pack animals to emergency food source, although today both of these uses are much less common. A significant number--perhaps the vast majority--of dogs in the western world are companion animals with no assigned task ''per se''.

The '''Panda''', full '''Giant Panda''' or '''Panda bear''' (''Ailuropoda melanoleuca''), is a [[mammal]] of the [[Bear (species)|bear]] family (''Ursidae''), that is native to central China's mountainous regions, like [[W:Sichuan|Sichuan]] and [[W:Tibet|Tibet]].

== Overview ==

Easily recognizable through its large, distinctive black patches on the eyes, ears, and rotund body, the panda is considered a [[W:Vulnerable species|vulnerable species]], with an estimated 1800-2060 pandas living in the wild, according to a 2018 census.

Despite being [[W:Taxonomy|taxonomically]] a [[carnivore]], their diet is overwhelmingly [[herbivorous]]. The panda eats tubers, grasses, shoots, leaves, and roots, living almost entirely on bamboo. Pandas are also [[W:Omnivore|omnivores]], as they are known to eat eggs, fish, small [[animal]]s, [[W:Carrion|carrion]], and some [[insect]]s along with their bamboo diet. These are necessary sources of protein.

For many decades the precise taxonomic classification of the panda was under debate as both the giant panda and the distantly related [[red panda]] share characteristics of both bears and [[raccoon]]. However, genetic testing has revealed that giant pandas are true bears and part of the ''Ursidae'' family. However, it differentiated earlier in history than most ursines and could be considered a [[W:Living fossil|living fossil]]. Its closest extant relative is the [[W:Spectacled bear|spectacled bear]].

The giant panda has an unusual paw, with a "thumb" and five fingers; the "thumb" is actually a modified wrist bone. The giant panda has a short [[tail]], approximately 5.9 inches (15 cm) long.
