Dingo Bone Structure

African Wild Dog:
1. fossil record/genetic record: The two species that are completely different from the African Wild Dog are the Dingo and the Red Wolf. The first difference from the African Wild Dog, is that their scientific names are different. The second difference is that the African Wild Dog has a smaller body, fewer toes, and teeth structure in the jaw.
2. Traits: The shared traits between all of the dogs are that they all are true blood dogs. Although, what they don't have in common is the structure of the body including the teeth structure and feet structure.
3. Environmental Niche: The environmental niche can compare to the other different species, because the other species are living in different habitats. The African Dog lives
Traits: The Dingo can relate to the Red Wolf because of the scientific name similarity which is caused by the body structure and the teeth structure. However, the African Wild Dog cannot relate to the Dingo, because of the scientific names caused by the form of the bodies, the size of the bodies, the teeth structure, and the feet structure.
3. Environmental Niche:The niches are all the same because the species’ ”roles” are all the same. They all hunt for their food (scavengers), and they are all tertiary consumers in a food chain or food web. They however, do not have the same environment that all of the different species live in. They all live in different areas.
4. Adaptive Values of Non-shared traits: The adaptations that have developed in the species is the fact that they are similar to a real “pet” dog that you would normally have in your house. The shared traits are the abilities to hunt for their food, and be able to hunt in packs similar to wolves. The non- shared traits are the short fur. Normally the other family species have long, thick fur. The Dingos have really short, thin fur in order to hunt during the day in a desert against the
Common ancestor: The common ancestors of the Dingos are the Gray Wolf and the Coyotes species.
Red Wolf
1. fossil record/genetic record: The fossil record or the genetic record relationships between the other two species is that the Red Wolf relates to the Dingo more than the African Wild Dog, because the Dingo has more similar structures than the African Wild Dog.
2. Traits: The shared species of traits are the instincts to hunt for food (scavenge), and the trait to hunt in packs and stay together. However, the Red Wolf is different compared to the other species that I have chosen, because the Red Wolf has a larger body type compared to the other species that I have chosen.
3. Environmental Niche: The niche of the different species are different because all of the species that I have chosen all live in different environments that they live in. Their “jobs” however, are similar because they all are mostly tertiary consumers on the food webs and food chains for the habitats that they live in. They are mostly at the top of the food chain, because they hunt for all of their food, and they have a large body type making them a larger animal compared to other species of
