Is the statement "All members of this group (with the exception of Canidae) have non-retractile claws" true? Which of the canidae have retractable claws? Nitpyck (talk) 23:53, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great layout

I really like the list of families on this page, and the way each is illustrated with a photo. That section is very well put together. -68.191.214.241 (talk) 06:58, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of dog confusing

The picture labeled "Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)", imho, is a really bad choice. The English wikipedia, due to English being a common second language, is widely accessed by the international community for its unsurpassed number and quality of articles. While one with a good command of English will certainly see said photo for what it is, a picture of a very strange- and unusual-looking breed of dog, it's a typical example of something that will only serve to confuse others. Someone do the world a favour and upload an Alsacian or husky or even a poodle, anything that can be immediately recognized as a dog... Aadieu (talk) 18:13, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
