More info: Wolves are the largest members of the Canidae family, which includes domestic dogs, coyotes, dingoes, African hunting dogs, many types of foxes, and several kinds of jackals. They are common to all parts of the Northern Hemisphere with the largest concentrations being in Alaska, Canada and Russia. The largest wolf in the world is the Mackenzie Valley Wolf also known as the Northwestern Wolf or Canadian Timber Wolf.

Among true wolves, two species are recognized: Canis lupus (often known simply as “gray wolves”), which includes 38 subspecies including gray, timber, arctic, tundra, lobos, and buffalo wolves. The other recognized species is the red wolf (Canis rufus), which is smaller and has longer legs and shorter fur. Many scientists debate whether Canis rufus is a separate species.

Wolves evolved from an ancient animal called Mesocyon, which lived approximately 35 million years ago. It was a small dog-like creature with short legs and a long body. Like the wolf, it may have lived in packs. The earliest drawings of wolves are in caves in southern Europe and date from 20,000 B.C.
