	LAELAPS : Fabulous dog of Cephalus ; Greek mythology ; constellation Canis Major : LAILAPS
		LAILAPS (or Laelaps) was a magical dog which was alsways destined to catch his prey.
		Amphitryon went to Deioneus’ son Kephalos at Athens, and after promising him a share of the booty from the Teleboan expedition, persuaded him to bring to the Fox hunt the Dog [Laelaps] which Prokris had received from Minos and brought from Krete, for it was also fated that this Dog would catch whatever it chased.
		He was loosed and straightway lost to sight; the hot dust held his footprints; he had vanished; not so swift a lance’s flight or bullets from a sling or slender arrows from a Cretan bow.

	Sub-Project LAELAPS
		For four years, LAELAPS researchers were little more than butchers, as Majestic was inexperienced with genetics and modifications were usually made through simple vivisection and grafting techniques.
		Amazingly, LAELAPS' first successful modification, a by now-decrepit female (which should by all rights be long-dead, but manages to somehow hang on to life) which LAELAPS personnel have christened "Orthrus," is still alive.
		Through the techniques developed by the LAELAPS researchers, though, it is possible to boost a dog's intellect by 1d6 points per level of enhancement (1-7).

	Dinosaur Species: How many species of dinosaurs were there? [The Great Dinosaur Mystery]
		For example, it has been suggested that Agathaumas and the Polyonax dinosaurs may be synonymous with Triceratops.
		Among the Carnosaurs, it is thought that Saurophagus, Ceratosaurus, Creosaurus, Dryptosaurus, Labrosaurus, Laelaps, Poecilopleuron, and Allosaurus may be the same thing -- Antrodemus.
		At least some of the different "species" of hadrosaurs and ceratopians (particularly Triceratops) may have actually been of the same species.

	Laelaps Kuvasz Kennel - Introduction
		Of course, this caused a dilemma, as the fox couldn't be caught and Laelaps couldn't fail to catch.
		Laelaps became the weather watchdog for the Egyptians, as he could watch the Upper Nile reaches, from his position in the sky, and would warn the people when the Nile floods were to begin so they could ready their fields for irrigation.
		Laelaps Kuvasz Kennel was founded with the specific intention of preserving the historical temperament of the Kuvasz breed, maintaining the breeds historic soundness, and placing pups in homes and on farms where they can perform their historic job of guarding.

		Laelaps was so fast, in fact, that many claimed even the fastest deer could not outrun him.
		Laelaps had had many owners, the last one being Procris, the daughter of King Erechtheus (a son of Hermes) of Athens.
		The two animals ran and ran, but Laelaps was never able to catch the fox.

	What ever happened to Deinodon? (long)
		He asserted that in his Laelaps description he had already singled out precisely those three teeth as "typical" of Deinodon, because they were the distinctive teeth that permitted Deinodon to be distinguished from Megalosaurus and Laelaps.
		Cope was, of course, primarily interested in protecting the integrity of his genus Laelaps: Complete dentitions of Megalosaurus and Laelaps were then unknown (as they still are even today), so there was no way to be certain that those dinosaurs lacked D-sectioned teeth (though they probably did).
		Since they were supposedly generically indistinguishable from Laelaps teeth, Hay made them a new species of the genus Dryptosaurus: He called them Dryptosaurus kenabekides, the trivial name meaning "descended from the Kenabeek," a large reptilian monster of native American folklore.

	Canis Major
		When Procris and Caphalus married in ancient Greece, Procris was given two exquisite wedding presents- a dart which would follow a target until it struck, and a hound dog Laelaps, which would start after any scent left by an animal and be sure to get his prey.
		When she came near, Laelaps became aware of her scent and growled to Cephalus who thought the sound of Procris was a wild animal.
		Laelaps was placed in the skies following Orion, where he was doomed to forever chase the hare, Lepus.

	The Breed Report: The Boxer
		Laelaps’ final owner decided to use the dog to hunt the Teumessian Fox, a giant animal so fast that he could never be caught.
		Before he met his stony end, Laelaps supposedly sired a number of dogs who came to be known as Molossians: large, mastiff-types frequently used to fight in wars around 2000 BC.
		While this origin of Molossians may be mythical, written history shows that sometime between the 11th and 17th centuries, smaller Molossians were bred into bull biters, a group of working dogs which later split into several breeds, including boxers.

		Unfortunately, I don’t have direct access to my home library at the moment so the list will have to wait until later, but I think it’d be a much more interesting and entertaining meme than the present one.
		The notion that things were soon going to change caused a little bit of speculation, but despite my desire to tell everyone the news, I felt it best to keep things under my hat until my new plans were fully developed.
		Thanks to the support of many excellent bloggers (and the ever-increasing amounts of traffic and comments from readers like you), a prediction made by my friend Chris Harrison last February has now come to fruition and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

		Owen supposes the Dinosauria to have been, he undoubtedly had more expression than his modern reptilian proto-types possess.
		We can, then, with some basis of probability imagine our monster carrying his eighteen feet of length on a leap, at least thirty feet through the air, with hind feet read to strike his prey with fatal grasp, and his enormous weight to press it to the earth.
