=== Other mammals === A number of other mammals also have a requirement for taurine. While the majority of dogs can synthesize taurine, case reports have described a singular [[American cocker spaniel]], 19 [[Newfoundland dog]]s, and a family of [[golden retriever]]s suffering from taurine deficiency treatable with supplementation. [[Fox]]es on [[fur farm]]s also appear to require dietary taurine. The [[rhesus monkey|rhesus]], [[cebus]] and [[cynomolgus]] monkeys each require taurine at least in infancy.<!-- Do I try to stress that this does not apply to human infants here? Them monkeys were fed taurine-free human infant formula, something humans are perfectly okay with. --> The [[giant anteater]] also requires taurine.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Schaffer |first1=Stephen W. |last2=Ito |first2=Takashi |last3=Azuma |first3=Junichi |title=Clinical significance of taurine |journal=Amino Acids |date=January 2014 |volume=46 |issue=1 |pages=1β5 |doi=10.1007/s00726-013-1632-8|pmid=24337931 }} (abstracts of animal citations used to provide list of species)</ref>
