Whois & Analysis for thebark.com

A pet or companion animal is an animal kept primarily for a person's company, protection, or entertainment rather than as a working animal, sport animal, livestock, or laboratory animal.

Popular pets are often noted for their attractive appearances and their loyal or playful personalities.

The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a member of genus Canis (canines) that forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant carnivore.

The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa, with modern wolves not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated.

The dog was the first domesticated species and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.

A bark is a sound most commonly produced by dogs.

Other animals that make this noise include wolves, coyotes, pinnipeds, foxes and quolls.

Woof is the most common representation in the English language for this sound, especially for large dogs.

Other transliterations include the onomatopoeic ruff, arf, au au, bow-wow, and, for small dogs, yip.

“Bark” is also a verb that describes the sharp explosive cry of certain animals.

Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

Evolutionary processes give rise to biodiversity at every level of biological organisation, including the levels of species, individual organisms, and molecules.

Culture can be defined in numerous ways.

In the words of anthropologist E.B. Tylor, it is "that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society." Alternatively, in a contemporary variant, "Culture is defined as a social domain that emphasizes the practices, discourses and material expressions, which, over time, express the continuities and discontinuities of social meaning of a life held in common.".
