Depending on what you define to be panting, yes and no.

Panting is an example of thermoregulation in dogs. Many species of bird, mammal, fish and plant use thermoregulation to control their body temperature in different climates, but not all use panting to do it.

Quick, shallow breathing (panting) is used by dogs to thermoregulate their bodies, similar methods of theromoregulation via the mouth are used by Crocodillians when basking.

The only other animals that 'pant' in the same way that dogs do are:

-Wolves

-Some lemurs

-2 species of bear
