Wolves and dogs
Wolves and dogs are subspecies of Canis lupus.[1] The American Grey Wolf (Canis lupus lupus) differs significantly in appearance from such wolves as C. l. pallipes, C. l. arabs, or C. l. chanco, that are probably more similar to the wolf that was the modern dog ancestor.[2]
Etymology
The name Canis is Latin for dog.
