The discussion centers on the role of canids (like dogs and wolves) in the pollination process, highlighting an intriguing yet unconventional aspect of their interaction with flowering plants. The key point made in the comments is that a staggering 87% of flowering plant species rely on various animal species for pollination, which opens the door to considering canids' unexpected contributions to this important ecological service. There might be potential opportunities for further research into their roles and behaviors that could affect pollination without the traditional associations seen with insects and birds.
