tell the difference between the members of the Canis genus. For starters, a coyote’s ears are tall and pointed, while a wolf’s are short and rounded.

As well as the increasing knowledge about the Canis mammals, the coyote specifically has many special

2017) evolved from Pliocene variants of Canis Lupus, the wolf (Vilà et al. 1997). Late Pleistocene canines that fall morphologically somewhere between this wolf and the modern dog have been directly associated with early European human settlements as long ago as 40,000 BP (Germonpré et al. 2009). The close relationships that one can see today between humans and their canine companions have endured tens of thousands of years; more so than any other domesticate, Canis lupus familiaris is indeed humanity’s

In 1753, Carl Linnaeus listed among the types of quadrupeds familiar to him the Latin word for dog, canis. Among the species within this genus, Linnaeus listed the red fox (as Canis vulpes), wolves (Canis lupus), and the domestic dog (Canis canis). In later editions, Linnaeus dropped Canis canis and greatly expanded his list of the Canis genus of quadrupeds and, by 1758, included alongside the foxes, wolves, and jackals and many more terms that are now listed as synonyms for domestic dog, including

Evolutionary History of Gray Wolves The gray wolf is one of the world’s most well known and well researched animals with more documentation on them than any other wildlife species. It is a canid whose main habitats are in the wilderness of remote areas in North America, Eurasia and North Africa. It is the largest member of the wolf family, usually weighing between 70 and 120 lbs, and closely resembles in general appearance and proportions to a modern day breed of dog known as the German Sheppard

The dog was classified as Canis familiaris, which means "Dog-family" or the family dog. On the next page he recorded the wolf as Canis lupus, which means "Dog-wolf".
