Canids that belong to Vulpini are "vulpines". Canids that belong to Canini are "canines".<ref name=":0" /> Canines are usually pack animals which hunt their prey in a group. Foxes usually hunt alone. However, almost all canids are social animals.
Canids live on every [[continent]] on Earth, except for [[Antarctica]]. Many of them reached certain areas alongside humans. One kind of canid, the dog, became a [[Domestication|domestic animal]]. This made dogs the most well-known canids, and one of the most widely kept [[pets]].
