What is another word for dog-like carnivores?
Pronunciation: [dˈɒɡlˈa͡ɪk kˈɑːnɪvˌɔːz] (IPA) 
Dogs are only one type of carnivorous animal that have similar physical and behavioural traits. There are several synonyms for this categorisation, including canids, which refers to animals in the dog family, such as wolves, foxes and coyotes, and feliforms, which includes cats, hyenas and mongooses. The term 'carnivoran' also encompasses all meat-eating mammals, from bears and seals to raccoons and weasels. These animals all share a common ancestry and anatomical structure that allows them to be efficient predators. While they have varying degrees of social behaviour and hunting techniques, all dog-like carnivores are skilled and deadly predators in their own right.
