Its [[mitochondrial DNA]] is [[basal]] to all other wolves including other Tibetan wolves. The taxonomic status of this wolf clade was disputed: the separate species ''Canis himalayensis'' was proposed, based on two limited DNA studies. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Wolves]] [[Category:Mammals of Pakistan]] [[Category:Plants and animals of Kashmir]] {{biology-stub}}
