The Complete Canine Family Tree Showing the Relationship Between Foxes, Wolves and Dogs

David Goldenberg of MinuteEarth explores a beautifully illustrated dog family tree that encompasses canines of every kind. It reveals the relationship between foxes, wolves, and ancient dogs from around the world, which eventually evolved into the cuddly pets that humans know and love today.

The canine family is a hugely diverse group of foxes, wolves, and –yes– doggos that have spread all over the world. MinuteEarth explains who they are and how they’re related.

This canine family tree is available for purchase as a lovely wall print.

You can get this awesome poster from our DFTBA shop. We’ve been wanting to make this for so long, and we did so much work to make it both beautiful and educational. It’ll look great on your living room and in your classroom. …And if enough of you like this, we may even make a cat one in the near future.
