'''Canidae''' is a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[carnivorous]] and [[omnivore|omnivorous]] [[mammal]]s of the [[Order (biology)|order]] [[Carnivora]]. Animals that belong to the family Canidae are called '''canids'''. The family Canidae is divided into two tribes: [[Vulpini]] ("true foxes"), and [[Canini]] ("true dogs").
Canids of the tribe Vulpini (foxes) are called "vulpines". Canids of the tribe Canini (wolves, dogs, coyotes and others) are called "canines". Some people call all these canids "canines", but this is wrong.
Examples of canids are [[dog]]s, [[wolf|wolves]], [[fox]]es, [[coyote]]s, and [[jackal]]s.
