@Saltator, actually, no, the Canis genus is completely absent from Africa and now contains only eight extant species: the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus (cladistically including the Domestic Dog (Canis lupus familiaris))), the White Wolf (Canis albus), the Sea Wolf (Canis crassodon), the Eastern Wolf (Canis lycaon), the Red Wolf (Canis rufus), the Pale-Footed Wolf (Canis pallipes), the New Guinea Singing Dog (Canis hallstromi), and the Dingo (Canis dingo), whereas the other four extant species do not fall under this genus anymore, the golden jackal and coyote both fall under the genus Prolupus, whereas both the ethiopian golden wolf and common golden wolf both fall under the genus Flavocyon, with their scientific names being Prolupus aureus, Prolupus latrans, Flavocyon simensis, and Flavocyon lupaster respectively, while the genus Prolupus (Laurasian/Holarctic Jackals) is officially a sister taxon to the Canis genus, the genus Flavocyon (Golden Wolves) is not closely related to the Canis genus at all, the Flavocyon genus instead represents a primitive offshoot within the Canina subtribe being only more derived than the other two African genera Lupulella (African Jackals) and Lycaon (Painted Dogs), but basal to the other remaining members of the Canina subtribe.
@@indyreno2933 lmao bro you're just turning random wolf subspecies into full species now 😂. The Ethiopian wolf and African golden wolf are still Canis. Wth are you even talking about? I'd love to see a peer reviewed paper that lists your changes :)
@@indyreno2933 And I can't believe you just said the coyote and golden jackal aren't closely related to Canis... I'd love for you to explain how wolves and coyotes show such high admixture rates despite being unrelated 😂
@Saltator, actually, the Canis genus is polyphyletic, the golden jackal, coyote, ethiopian golden wolf, and common golden wolf all do not fall under the Canis genus anymore, they belong to two separate genera, the golden jackal and coyote are both classified within the genus Prolupus, with their scientific names being Prolupus aureus and Prolupus latrans respectively, whereas the ethiopian golden wolf and common golden wolf both now belong to the genus Flavocyon, where their scientific names are now Flavocyon simensis and Flavocyon lupaster, in fact, while the Prolupus genus is officially a sister taxon to Canis, the Flavocyon genus is not closely related to the Canis genus at all, Flavocyon is instead a primitive lineage more derived than the other two African genera being Lupulella (African Jackals) and Lycaon (Painted Dogs), but is basal to the other remaining members of the Canina subtribe, to be fair, there are actually now twenty extant genera of dogs (family Canidae) which are Urocyon, Atelocynus, Speothos, Chrysocyon, Bassarilupus, Pseudalopex, Lycalopex, Cerdocyon, Vulpes, Neocyon, Alopex, Fennecus, Otocyon, Nyctereutes, Lupulella, Lycaon, Flavocyon, Cuon, Prolupus, and Canis, Urocyon contains two extant species: the Grey Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) and the Channel Island Fox (Urocyon littoralis), Atelocynus contains just one species being the Short-Eared Jackal (Atelocynus microtis), Speothos contains only one extant species being the Bushdog (Speothos venaticus), Chrysocyon contains only one extant species being the Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), Bassarilupus contains two extant species: the Pampas Fox (Bassarilupus gymnocercus) and the Sechuran Fox (Bassarilupus sechurae), Pseudalopex contains two extant species: the Culpeo (Pseudalopex culpaeus) and the Hoary Fox (Pseudalopex vetulus), Lycalopex contains two extant species: the Chilla (Lycalopex griseus) and the Darwin's Fox (Lycalopex fulvipes), Cerdocyon contains only one extant species being the Crab-Eating Fox (Cerdocyon thous), Vulpes contains three extant species: the Eurasian Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), the American Red Fox (Vulpes fulva), and the African Red Fox (Vulpes niloticus), Neocyon contains just one species being the Tibetan Fox (Neocyon ferrilatus), Alopex contains four extant species: the Corsac Fox (Alopex corsac), the Arctic Fox (Alopex lagopus), the Swift Fox (Alopex velox), and the Kit Fox (Alopex macrotis), Fennecus contains six extant species: the Bengal Fox (Fennecus bengalensis), the Blanford's Fox (Fennecus cana), the Ruppell's Fox (Fennecus rueppellii), the Fennec Fox (Fennecus zerda), the Pale Fox (Fennecus pallidus), and the Cape Fox (Fennecus chama), Otocyon contains only one extant species being the Bat-Eared Fox (Otocyon megalotis), Nyctereutes contains two extant species: the Chinese Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and the Japanese Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes viverrinus), Lupulella contains two extant species: the Side-Striped Jackal (Lupulella adusta) and the Black-Backed Jackal (Lupulella mesomelas), Lycaon contains only one extant species being the African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus), Flavocyon contains two extant species: the Ethiopian Golden Wolf (Flavocyon simensis) and the Common Golden Wolf (Flavocyon lupaster), Cuon contains just one species being the Dhole (Cuon alpinus), Prolupus contains two extant species: the Golden Jackal (Prolupus aureus) and the Coyote (Prolupus latrans), and Canis contains eight extant species: the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus (cladistically including the Domestic Dog (Canis lupus familiaris))), the White Wolf (Canis albus), the Sea Wolf (Canis crassodon), the Eastern Wolf (Canis lycaon), the Red Wolf (Canis rufus), the Pale-Footed Wolf (Canis pallipes), the New Guinea Singing Dog (Canis hallstromi), and the Dingo (Canis dingo).
1:35 Um, I'm pretty conflicted about the way they edit these nature documentaries to look like cartoons, like the giant mole-rat is teasing the fox like Bugs Bunny, especially with the playful music. It's certainly amusing and funny and entertaining, but it's also not real, these shots are cut together to manufacture this narrative. 🤔 (Also, it's not amusing to present a funny cartoon-y tone that results in death. 😒)
Teasing is one interpretation I didn't consider. I saw it as the mole rat being cautious, knowing danger is around. I thought it was pretty fairly put together :)
Beautiful wolf! Such a great shots of his head and posture ♥️
I had no idea the Ethiopian wolf existed. Thank you
Me either !!!!
They call it wolf, but's it's closer to the coyote and the jackal I believe, same as the manned wolf.
@@endi5739Wolves and coyotes are in the same genus, so is the Ethiopian wolf, the canis genus
There are less than 366 Ethiopian wolves lest in the planet.
I love how the mole rat at the end was looking out like “aw shit dude they got Dave!”
“Get your butt back in here before they get yours too, Pete.”
Thank you to the Nature PBS Crew.. most especially you all most at PBS.
"And viewers like you. Thank you." 😁
The wolf looks like he has coyote or fox somewhere in its ancient DNA.
😂
His grandmother stepped out on his grandfather with the mail-dog…
They share a common ancestor, so that or convergent evolution.
Thank u for all your very interesting & fascinating videos!👍🏻😄
beautiful wolf. but that mole rat is bizzare. it's like a terrestrial pufferfish with brittish teeth
😂
Lovely mole rats. Their facial features look like some sort of caricature from my human frame of reference.
They look like something Jim Henson might have created to me, lol!
Gross
Soos from Gravity Falls
Why haven't these creatures been monetized and made into funny plushies. I bet they'd sell with how derby they are
0:31 my dear Aretha! Be careful! The wolf is here!
The wolf missed his first chance but it wasn’t his only opportunity. The wolf gave a second shot and succeeded
These mole rats look like the new BMW 3 and 4 series! 🤣😂
2:01 the other mole rat: oh crap better make sure that im not next
Oh no! Poor Rufus!
Amazing nature, This mole eyes on top of head , It can stay in the hole yet,. See out. Nature just simply awesome.🎉
Soooo... The Giant Mole Rat is just an introvert...
1:58
1:46 Aretha! no! 😢
Can conservations please save these super endangered Ethiopian wolves?? There are less than 500 left.
Beautiful great wolf 🐺

Its unteresting that molerats arent rodent but giant molerats are.
Yum yum, warm bloody rat -- my favorite -- and still twitching.
bro died because he couldnt resist a leaf
HUNGRY ethiopian wolf has to play WHACK-A-MOLE in order to get some food
is this wolf or chad fox
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
They look like cartoons
The animal the Ethiopian Golden Wolf (Flavocyon simensis) is preying on is actually a grawe not a molerat.
Isn't it Canis? lol

These are not grass rats these piks close relatives to rabbits
pikas are not found in Africa
