Evolution of the dog
There are an estimated 500 million domestic dogs worldwide, and all of them are related.
At the base of their evolutionary tree stands the gray wolf, from which every type and breed of dog has descended.
As geneticists have discovered, in terms of DNA, the difference between wolf and dog is infinitesimal.

They are superb hunters, adapted to be as successful living in a dry sandy desert as they are in a dense tropical forest.
Cats are predatory hunters belonging to the order Carnivora.
