This is a list of the species of Canidae ordered by average weights of adult individuals in the wild. It does not include canid hybrids or any domesticated animals . Only wild species of canids are included, all of which are described as species by authentic sources.
Population sizes range from the Falkland Islands wolf, extinct since 1876, to the domestic dog, which has a worldwide population of over 1 billion. [1] The body forms of canids are similar, typically having long muzzles, upright ears, teeth adapted for cracking bones and slicing flesh, long legs, and bushy tails. [2]

Hunnicutt said that the deployed collars will help state scientists track the state’s wolf population, which was estimated to be at least 70 in the fall of last year, up from 44 in 2023.
