Saying that interbreeding with feral dogs is a threat to the subspecies sounds pretty racist to me. What, are we going to try that with humans? Make sure the 'negro' and 'caucasian' subspecies don't go extinct? I think not. Any interbreeding that works is a good thing. |

Humans have no distinct subspecies, they're all simply colour variations. Wolves on the other hand have developed genetic distinctions due to millenia of isolation. |

While on a desert camping trip this weekend (14 Oct. 2006) I and my companions observed three of these Canis Lupus Arabs wolves in the desert. We actually chased the animals with our 4-WD vehicles and got a very good look at them and took photos. The map of their range does not include mainland Egypt but these wolves were observed on the west side of the River Nile about 100 km south of Cairo near Al Fayyum.
