The Caninae are the only living subfamily of Canidae. Many extinct species of Caninae were endemic to North America, living from 34 million to 11,000 years ago.[5] Some members of the endemic North American canines survived to the present time. This subfamily was recently revised.[6] More basal canids are placed in the extinct subfamilies Hesperocyoninae and Borophaginae.
Present-day basal Caninae include:[7]
- Genus Urocyon
- Gray fox, Urocyon cinereoargenteus
- Island fox, Urocyon littoralis)
- Genus Otocyon (probably a vulpine close to Urocyon)
- Bat-eared fox, Otocyon megalotis
- Genus Nyctereutes
- Raccoon dog, N. procyonoides
- Genus Cuon[not in citation given]
- Dhole, C. alpinus
