@thinkwildlifefoundation2334, recent studies render Canis lupus polyphyletic just like Cervus elaphus and Sus scrofa are also rendered as polyphyletic, which is why the white wolf, sea wolf, eastern wolf, red wolf, pale-footed wolf, new guinea singing dog, and dingo as well as the recently extinct japanese wolf are all now considered separate species from the grey wolf, why the mediterranean deer, barbary deer, caspian deer, hangul, and elk/wapiti are all now considered separate species from the red deer, and why the mediterranean hog, barbary pig, black-footed hog, crested hog, banded pig, formosan hog, and japanese pig are all now considered separate species from the wild boar The Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) now has only twenty-five recognized subspecies: the Steppe Wolf (Canis lupus
