Researchers in the United States have recently determined that gray wolves and coyotes took the last Ice Age pretty rough, but managed to survive. The study indicates that the two were once similar in appearance, and suggests that each of the species may have taken a different evolutionary path.
The next question th... |

A study partially funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), and published in the December 2 issue of the top journal Science, shows that predictions of how wolves in Yellowstone National Park will react to climate change can be considerably improved.
In order to do that, the research team carried out an i... |

Dogs may not come from the Middle East after all, two new studies indicate. The latest works in the field indicate that Fido was domesticated south of the Yangtze River, in China, about 16,000 years ago.
These results directly contradict evidence produced by other researchers, who proved that the Middle East has th... |

A recent study conducted on wolves in Yellowstone National Park has revealed that many members of a pack are in fact freeloaders. They do not contribute to the actual killing process, but show up later to claim their share of the spoils.
The work was focused on Canis lupus, the gray wolf. Numerous packs have been... |

Scientists at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) are currently tracking a large pack of wolves via satellite. The animals live in an area roughly 600 kilometers away from the North Pole, and their habits are of great interest to researchers, who have until now had no luck in observing them via other methods. ... |

A South Korean cloning expert has recently announced that a new scientific study will have two cloned wolves mate, in order to test if they can bring to life viable offspring. This type of experiment is unprecedented in the history of cloning, and will most likely shed some light on the way modified genetic factors b... |

New scientific research proves without a doubt that not only primates are able to sense envy and jealousy, but that dogs can as well. In order to prove this, researchers used only similarly-trained dogs, and asked them to extend their paw under similar circumstances. As soon as the dog "next door" was getting more at... |
