Dogs vary widely in shape, size and colors. They perform many roles for humans, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, more recently

A similarly impressive range of felids have been included in their prey spectrum. Adults of both domestic cats and their ancestors, the African wildcat ("Felis silvestris lybica"), are known to fall prey to this species. Arguably their most impressive
