'''Wolves''' are dog-like animals classified as canids, which belong in the genus canis, along with coyotes. There are several subspecies of wolf, including domestic dogs, dingoes, and the mexican wolf. They usually hunt in packs. As a sign of submissiveness, a wolf will expose his neck to another wolf, who (instead of taking advantage of this vulnerability) will assume a dominant role toward him.

Attempts were made in the 1930s and thereafter to eliminate these animals as pests, in the United States, particularly in [[Yellowstone National Park]]. Currently, [[Alaska]] is the only state that endorses mass killings of wolves, by offering $250 per carcass. Under the current governor, [[Sarah Palin]], it is now legal to snipe wolves from low flying airplanes. The Canadian government also made plans to exterminate wolves (see [[Farley Mowat]]).  Thankfully, this effort was unsuccesful as wolves still survive in both countries.

The last wolf in [[England]] was bagged on the fringes of Hounslow Heath, Middlesex, in 1756.

The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is the ancestor of the domestic [[dog]].  Since even in the evolutionary view this is considered to have occurred in a relatively short time frame (as "little" as 15,000 years ago) this is one area where the views of [[YEC|Young earth creationists]] and evolutionists generally overlap.
