Yeah, actually, in a roundabout sort of way. Prof is likely using the term as a replacement for Genus. He mentioned that dogs and wolves can breed. That applies to g Canis (with notable exceptions), but not f Canidae (no exceptions). We would expect dogs and wolves to be able to breed, as dogs are domesticated wolves. Amusingly, until very recently even though the members of g Canis -could- interbreed the offspring of those pairings appeared to have had very little in the way of fitness (hence wolves and coyotes remained distinct populations). Coywolfs have changed that - and we have a pretty good understanding of why.
For clarity, Prof, would you say that domestic dogs and foxes are "different kinds"? How about wolves and african hunting/wild dogs?
