response: Well yes, there are gray wolves, red wolves, and eastern wolves, for example.
original_response: That's quite cool. I like coyotes too - another member of the canine family.
history: I love dogs, very incredible species,I think wolves especially are fascinating. Yeah - apparently the extant gray wolf is the closest living relative of the dog. I would absolutely believe it, there is so much overlap between the domestic dog and wolf now there is almost an indistinguishable line if breed them properly. Interesting.  Did you know that according to the archeological record, dog remains were buried alongside humans over 14 thousand years ago? Oh wow, fascinating.  What do you know about wolves? Well I know that they are hunted, for various reasons.  Not only for sport, but for their skins, and also to protect livestock or humans. Gosh that's sad.  Do you know about different types of wolves?
knowledge: It is smaller than its close relative, the gray wolf, and slightly smaller than the closely related eastern wolf and red wolf.
