The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) is considered a member of the same species according to different indications, DNA sequence and other genetic studies. [2] The first fossil record dates back to 800,000 years ago. [3] In the past, the wolves were abundant and distributed throughout North America, Eurasia and the Middle East. Currently, for a number of reasons related to man, including the widespread habit of hunting, wolves inhabit only a very limited portion of what was once their territory. Although classified as a less threatened species for extinction, in some regions, including the continental United States of America, the species is listed as endangered or threatened. Wolves are hunted in many areas of the world because of the threat they pose to livestock, as well as for sport. #travel #instagran #photo #planet Una publicación compartida por 🏌NICKY | TAIMON (@nickitaimon) el 10 de Dec de 2018 a las 5:31 pm PST
