Gray wolf

The Gray wolf (Canis Lupus), also known as the Grey wolf, Timber wolf, or Wolf, is a canid native to the remote areas of North America, Eurasia, and North Africa. It is the largest extant member of its family and is the largest extant one in the world. The dire wolf (Canis Dirus) was thought to be the largest wolf ever to live but the Kenai peninsula wolf (Canis Lupus Alces) is taller and heavier. I thought the Japanese/Honshu wolf (Canis Lupus Hodophilax) was the smallest but the Arabian wolf (Canis Lupus Arabs) is the smallest. The Arabian wolf is the only wolf in the world that doesn't howl and is found in surrounding areas of the Arabian peninsula and the Sinai peninsula in Egypt. Many subspecies of Canis Lupus are endangered or extinct. The Arabian wolf, along with the Egyptian wolf (Canis Lupus Lupaster), are the only gray wolves native to Africa. The Egyptian wolf is also a subspecies of the African golden wolf. Wolves are extinct in Britain, Ireland, and other places, but in Britain, British ecologists and conservationists have debated the reintroduction of lynxes, wolves, and bears. The Hokkaido wolf (Canis Lupus Hattai) primarily lived on the Japanese island of Hokkaido and the Russian island of Sakhalin as well in the Kamchatka peninsula and the Kuril islands. The wolf went extinct on Hokkaido island in 1889 but in 1945, there have been reports of them surviving on Sakhalin island and the Kuril archipelago. The Honshu wolf also lived in Japan and was declared extinct in 1905. The Eurasian or common wolf (Canis Lupus Lupus) was the subspecies that used to live in the British isles. A bite from a rabid wolf is 15 times more dangerous than a bite from a rabid domestic dog. Domestic dogs (Canis Lupus Familiaris) and Dingoes (Canis Lupus Dingo) are actually descended from wolves. Other wolf species include Eastern wolves (Canis Lycaon), Red wolves (Canis Rufus), Coyotes (Canis Latrans), extinct Dire wolves (Canis Dirus), African golden wolves (anis Anthus), Golden jackals (Canis Aureus), Black-backed jackals (Canis Mesomelas), and Side-striped jackals (Canis Adustus).
