Cats and dogs are more closely related than cats and rats.
Cats and lions are most closely related. The taxonomical similarities between cats and dogs end at the family which is Carnivora for both. After that, they go their separate ways.
No, theyre part of their own species, which is more closely related to ferrets and cats than dogs.
No, unless we are speaking in evolutionarily historical terms.Both domestic cats (Felis catus), and species of foxes (in the family Canidae) are in the Mammalian order Carnivora. They are in different suborders and families, so while they no doubt share some percentage of their genome, there is no useful relationship to speak of beyond the evolutionary context.
alot of people think hyenas are in the dog family but they are actually more closely related to cats. hyenas have 4 toes per foot like cats where dogs have five. they are not cats but are closely related.
Domestic cats and dogs are more closely related than cats and rats. Cats and dogs diverge at Order Carnivora, cats to Feliformia and dogs to caniformia. Cats and rats, on the other hand diverge at Infraclass Eutheria, rats to Rodentia and cats to Carnivora.(Dogs belong to Genus Canis, cats to Genus Felis, and rats to Genus Rattus.)Cats and dogs both descend from a weasel-like mammal known as cynodictis.
"Wolves and Hyenas"....? Not quite.. Hyenas are more closely related to Cats then Dogs. But they are more closely related to the Mongooses and Meerkats, therby falling within the family of Feliformia.
Dogs and wolves are closely related to the coyote
No, they a different species. However, since they are both mammals, in the phylogenetic sense they are related.
No, because they are too different. Only animals that are closely related (such as Tigers and Lions) can cross-breed. no they can not because there molicules are different
Primates like humans are closely related to the order carnivore some scientist even have them as a sister group similar to hippos to whales and elephants to hyraxes.
No, raccoons are procyonids, not canids. Procyonidae is a New World family of the order Carnivora. It includes the raccoons, coatis, kinkajous, olingos, olinguitos, ringtails and cacomistles.
