    I myself also love canids. I'll do my list (domestic dogs excluded). Bold means also seen in the wild

    Red Fox
    Arctic Fox
    Fennec Fox
    Pale Fox
    Grey Fox
    Coyote
    Gray Wolf
    Arctic Wolf
    Mexican Gray Wolf
    Red Wolf
    Maned Wolf
    Dhole
    African Wild Dog
    Raccoon Dog
    Bush Dog

    And hope to expand this even more.

    (I included many some grey wolf subspecies because sometimes they are separate).

    Sometimes you'll see them in smaller zoos (like Buttonwood) or "Zooseum"/nature centers (like Squam Lakes).
