Canis Major

Although they may change ranks throughout their lives, wolves adhere to a strict social hierarchy usually dependent on the strength and aggressive behaviors of each member of the pack. These behaviors affect how each individual wolf interacts with other members of the pack and which role they assume. The more aggressive and dominant wolves are the alphas, consisting of a male and female mated pair. The betas are the second in command of the pack and will assume leadership of the group while the alphas

domesticated and friendly with humans. Dogs are domesticated animals and considered pets to humans. I'm going to discuss about three things on dogs, there adaptations, there ancestor species, and how dogs changed from their ancestors and now. Dogs are Canis, there domesticated animals. Dog's ancestors are wolves. Dogs come in many different breeds for example, American Pitbull Terrier and German Shepherd which are my two favorite dog breeds. These animals adapted and over time became domestic and friendly

Wolves are significant to the Aboriginal people because they are associated with courage, strength, loyalty, freedom of spirit, and discipline. The Aboriginal people thought that wolves were closely related to humans. They believed that the first ancestors were being transformed from wolves into men. In the Native American culture wolves are the most common clan animals. Some of the tribes that are associated with wolf clans are the Creek (whose name is Yahalgi), the Cherokee (whose name is Aniwahya)

wolves destroy other animals habitats. “Wolves can maintain populations and are beautiful animals that should not be harmed”, which is what Howling for Wolves group said. Howling for wolves was created to be a voice for the wolves. Gray wolves are a major draw for Minnesota’s yearly $500 million wildlife tourism economy, and they hold deep cultural meanings for many minnesotans. Wolves

I strongly believe that wolf hunting and trapping is beneficial to the Minnesota ecosystem for these reasons. Wolves take up lots of space, they have no natural predators to kill the weak and sick, and their growth will hurt the ecosystem. With these details I will prove that the wolf hunt is something good to keep in Minnesota. Wolves in Minnesota take up lots of space that could be used for other purposes. Current populations of wolves in Minnesota are at about 2,423 wolves. A single

What? You don't think the history of dogs is interesting. You would not like to live on earth about 35,000 years ago. Large sheets of ice covered much of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. People lived in caves or in huts made up of animal's bones. They hunted reindeer using stones and sticks. Danger was found everywhere you went, and diseases with no cures, saber toothed tigers with 11 inch fangs elephant-like mastodons with tusks as long as shaped as swords. Keep in mind that this was only during

Have you ever had a dog? Do you know where dogs came from? Well, did you know that a million of years ago dogs did not exist. Back, then the dogs were wolves that disliked people. The relationship between dogs and humans has changed over time because over thousands of years ago, the wolves evolved to dogs and the dogs soon became part of human families. That is why these days people want to have a dog as a pet. Did you know that back then wolves where the only dogs that existed? Until

species in the whole world! To be specific, there are only about 300 in captivity and approximately 114 of the wolves in the wild. Also known as the Lobo or El Lobo, its scientific name is Canis Lupus Baileyi (Can-iss Loop-us Bay- lie-lie). It is the smallest of the five kinds of subspecies of the Gray wolf or Canis lupus. If we don’t help the Lobo the its prey will increase some of is population in size. The Mexican wolves are endangered because settlers moved to their habitats and brought live stock

Over the course of the past few weeks, students have presented topics regarding pollution and endangerment of species. However, one of the three most interesting topics for me was the red wolf. This name is very peculiar, for you would expect it to be more scientific. However, it’s sad story just makes the name look irrelevant. The red wolf has been hunted down by early settlers, making it’s wildlife population to be fourteen. That is shocking, for this unique animal is suffering because of our needs

B.C. Coastal Wolves: Pelt Colour Variation Due to Ecological Factors Introduction The Grey Wolf (Canis Lupus) is a widely distributed species throughout parts of the world, from the Arctic regions to dry deserts (Bohman. 2005). In British Columbia alone, the estimated population of this species is around 8,000 (Musiani. Paquet. 2004). Since the Grey wolf is such a widespread mammal, it is inevitable that you’d find diversity within a closely related species, which is a key concept of evolution.
