Introduction

Wolves (Canis lupus) are iconic apex predators with a fascinating evolutionary history that spans millions of years. Modern wolves belong to the Canidae family, a diverse group of carnivorous mammals that includes domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), coyotes (Canis latrans), and jackals (Canis aureus). These remarkable animals are celebrated for their adaptability, intelligence, and social behavior, which have enabled them to thrive in a variety of habitats across the globe. The evolutionary journey of wolves provides valuable insights into their survival strategies, ecological roles, and complex relationships with humans. Their lineage uncovers a story of resilience and transformation, from ancient ancestors to the apex predators we know today.
