Cambelidéket

Cambelidéket is a Hungarian term referring to the family Canidae, which includes dogs, wolves, foxes, coyotes, jackals, and other dog-like mammals. This family is part of the order Carnivora. Cambelidéket are characterized by their long legs, digitigrade posture (walking on their toes), and typically non-retractile claws. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, inhabiting a wide range of environments from deserts and forests to grasslands and tundras.

Members of the Cambelidéket family are often social animals, living and hunting in packs, though some species are more solitary. Their diet consists primarily of meat, but many are opportunistic omnivores, supplementing their diet with fruits, insects, and other small animals. Communication within the family is complex, involving vocalizations, scent marking, and body language.

The evolutionary history of Cambelidéket traces back to the Eocene epoch. The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), a subspecies of the gray wolf, is the most widespread and diverse member of the family, having been domesticated by humans for thousands of years. Other well-known members include the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and the gray wolf (Canis lupus). The ecological roles of Cambelidéket are significant, often acting as predators and helping to regulate prey populations.
