EspañolCANIFORMIA
(Redirected from Caniform)
The 'Caniformia', or 'Canoidea' (dog-like carnivores) are a suborder within the order Carnivora. They typically possess a long snout and non-retractile claws (in contrast to the cat-like carnivores, the Feliformia). The Pinnipedia (seals, sea lions, and walruses) evolved from caniform ancestors and are accordingly assigned to this group.
;Phylogenetic tree
The caniforms first appeared as tree-climbing, cat-like carnivores in the Paleocene (65-55 million years ago). ''Miacis'' was probably an early caniform.
