I love dogs!
Me too!  They were the first species to ever be domesticated
that is nuts i didn't know that
Yes they are very similar to modern wolves but have been domesticated over many millenia
i love wolves too
Wow - wolves are kind of scary but fun to see from a distance.  They started evolving over a time of 800,000 years!
I love wolves when they are well fed. They are big ole cute puppers
Wolves became close to extinct 20,000 years ago but they came back
I'm glad they didnt
Wolf hunting
Wolf hunting is the practice of hunting gray wolves "(Canis lupus)" or other species of wolves. Wolves are mainly hunted for sport, for their skins, to protect livestock and in some rare cases, to protect humans. Wolves have been actively hunted since 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, when they first began to pose a threat to livestock vital for the survival of Neolithic human communities. Historically, the hunting of wolves was a huge capital- and manpower-intensive operation. The threat wolves posed
but their turnover has been high, and modern wolves are not the lineal ancestors of dogs. Although research had suggested that dogs and wolves were genetically very close relatives, later phylogenetic analysis strongly supported the hypothesis that dogs and wolves are reciprocally monophylic taxa that form two sister clades. This suggests that none of the modern wolf populations are related to the wolves that were first domesticated and the wolf ancestor of dogs is therefore presumed extinct. Recent mitochondrial DNA analyses of ancient and modern gray wolf specimens supports a pattern of population reduction and
