	ADW: Canis lupus: Information
		Gray wolves can be distinguished from red wolves (Canis rufus) by their larger size, broader snout, and shorter ears.
		They are distinguished from coyotes (Canis latrans) by being 50 to 100% larger and having a broader snout and larger feet.
		Except for red wolves (Canis rufus), all living North American wolves are considered to be Canis lupus -- a total (as of 1997) of 32 recognized subspecies.

	Digimorph - Canis lupus lycaon (gray wolf)
		Canis lupus, the gray wolf, arose in Eurasia about 1 million years ago, becoming one of the most widely distributed mammals by the end of the Pleistocene.
		The skulls of Canis (wolves, coyote, jackals), Cuon (dhole), and Lycaon (African wild dog) exhibit a large frontal sinus that invades the post-orbital process of the frontal bone.
		Radiographic and mechanical analyses of the dentaries of Canis lupus indicate that the jaws of the gray wolf are designed for relatively quick killing bites and bone crushing with the post-carnassial molars.

		Le chien (Canis lupus familiaris) est un mammifère domestique de la famille des canidés, proche du loup.
		Le chien n'est plus, pour le moment, considéré comme une espèce à part entière mais comme une sous-espèce de Canis lupus.
		Les anciennes appellations scientifiques du chien, Canis canis ou encore Canis familiaris, ne sont donc plus d'actualité.

	Digimorph - Canis familiaris (domestic dog - Chihuahua)
		The origin of the domestic dog, Canis familiaris, has been a source of confusion and controversy for many years.
		Currently, the hypothesis favored by the majority of researchers is the origination of dogs from the gray wolf, Canis lupus, but even that position has been challenged in the past.
		Canis familiaris is actually the most morphologically variable mammal known to science.

		Canis familiaris -- the "old" classification, putting the dog in its own taxonomy of the Canis genus.
		Under that thought, I'd say Canis lupus familiaris is more "correct" as dogs and wolves can create fertile offspring.

	1: Introduction
		In 1993, the dog (Canis lupus familiaris) was reclassified under the species status of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) in Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference, the internationally recognized taxonomical publication, printed by the Smithsonian Institute and the American Society of Mammalogists.
		So the timber wolf (Canis lupus nubilus), the arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos), and the dog (Canis lupus familiaris) are all subspecies under the genetic umbrella of the gray wolf.
		David Mech (1970) summed up the problems inherent in the taxonomical classification of the various subspecies of Canis lupus, claiming that because of the interbreeding, or intergradation, of wolves, there is a melding of traits that are generally used to determine one subspecies from another.

	What Are Wolfdogs?
		Canis Rufus(red wolf), Canis Lupus(gray wolf) and Canis Simensis(considered a jackal by some) are the 3 current species of wolf.
		The domestic dog is a “subspecies” of Canis Lupus, called Canis Lupus Familiaris.
		So, for those who love to bash people who still use the term wolf hybrid, their time would be better spent interacting with their own animals, or get lives, which ever comes first.

		familiaris or Canis familiaris L. This terminology has been considered accurate by geologists and zooarcheologists for a while, since dogs would not be a subspieces of wolf if the above designation should be considered correct, but 450 subspieces of wolf.
		As reflected in the nomenclature, dogs are descended from the wolf and are thus able to interbreed with wolves.
		For example, the Japanese Wolf and the Eastern Timber Wolf possess different distinctive colouration, hunting and social structures.The Indian Wolf is thought to have contributed to the development of more breeds of dogs than other subspecies.

		First discovered by the scientific community in the 1950's, the NGSD was originally classified as a distinct species, Canis hallstromi, after Sir Edward Halistrom.
		I believe the NGSD should be placed in its own sub-species, as Canis lupus hallstromi, due to prominent differences in appearance and behavior.

		So, now, the Timber wolf (Canis lupus nubilus), the Mackenzie or Tundra wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis), the dog (Canis lupus familiaris), etc., fall under the genetic umbrella of the gray wolf: Canis lupus.
		To a geneticist, the lines between the dog (Canis familiaris), the wolf (Canis lupus), or the coyote (Canis latrans) are indistinct because they are not true species, that is not reproductively isolated.
		This review is intended to summarize the work of Wayne and his colleagues in trying to determine the phylogenetic relatedness of species within the Family Canidae, as well as the origin of the domestic dog and its relatedness to the gray wolf, Canis lupus.
