The Narrator's Voice is as Majestic as a Lion King.

[@duncancd5375]

A fantastic documentary. Except for those with hearing impaired. The music is so loud that it blocks a lot of the narration. Great anyway , thank you

[@mattcrew5594]

They are indeed very beautiful wolves!

[@Sir.T]

Why re uploads ..

[@raulmendoza857]

We must do something to save these magnificent animals and not let them go the way of the thylacen

[@jiritichy7967]

When is it wolf and when not and it is a coyote or jackal?

[@quailjailss]

Technically yeah they’re jackals. But they are larger than typical jackal species hence being deemed a “wolf” instead. I like the name Ethiopian wolf instead of Ethiopian jackal. Sets them apart and makes them a bit more unique

[@indyreno2933]

Golden wolves are dogs that constitute the genus Flavocyon, they are native to Northern Africa, there are two extant species of golden wolf: the Ethiopian Golden Wolf (Flavocyon simensis) and the Common Golden Wolf (Flavocyon lupaster), the ethiopian golden wolf has two recognized subspecies: the South Ethiopian Golden Wolf (Flavocyon simensis citernii) and the North Ethiopian Golden Wolf (Flavocyon simensis simensis), while the common golden wolf has six recognized subspecies: the Serengeti Golden Wolf (Flavocyon lupaster bea), the Somali Golden Wolf (Flavocyon lupaster riparius), the Nubian Golden Wolf (Flavocyon lupaster soudanicus), the Senegal Golden Wolf (Flavocyon lupaster anthus), the Egyptian Golden Wolf (Flavocyon lupaster lupaster), and the Algerian Golden Wolf (Flavocyon lupaster algirensis).

​@@caniform-craze2080I agree

[@Luna_the_Eurasian_Wolf]

African golden wolf (Canis lupaster) is a species of wolf (Canis) living in North Africa, northern West Africa, northern Central Africa and northern East Africa. African wolf has 6 recognised subspecies: Egyptian wolf (Canis lupaster lupaster), Senegalese wolf (Canis lupaster anthus), Somali wolf (Canis lupaster riparius), Algerian wolf (Canis lupaster algirensis), Nubian wolf (Canis lupaster soudanicus) and Serengeti wolf (Canis lupaster bea). Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) is a species of wolf (Canis) living in Ethiopian Highlands. Ethiopian wolf has 2 recognised subspecies: Northern Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis simensis) and Southern Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis citernii). Genus "Flavocyon" is comepletly made-up, and I can't find any source supporting it's validity or even proposing.

[@indyreno2933]

@, actually, the Canis genus is polyphyletic, it is entirely absent from Africa and its only eight extant species are 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) The side-striped jackal, black-backed jackal, ethiopian golden wolf, common golden wolf, golden jackal, and coyote are all removed from the Canis genus, the side-striped and black-backed jackals both now belong to the genus Lupulella with their scientific names now being Lupulella adusta and Lupulella mesomelas respectively, the ethiopian and common golden wolves both now belong to the genus Flavocyon with their scientific names now being Flavocyon simensis and Flavocyon lupaster respectively, and the golden jackal and coyote both now belong to the genus Prolupus with their scientific names now being Prolupus aureus and Prolupus latrans respectively As far as told, while the Prolupus genus that contains both the golden jackal and coyote is officially most closely related to the Canis genus, the african jackals (genus Lupulella) and golden wolves (genus Flavocyon) are not closely related to the Canis genus at all, the former is the most basal extant genus of the subtribe Canina while the latter is the third most basal, which actually means that the golden jackal (Prolupus aureus), coyote (Prolupus latrans), grey wolf (Canis lupus), white wolf (Canis albus), sea wolf (Canis crassodon), eastern wolf (Canis lycaon), red wolf (Canis rufus), pale-footed wolf (Canis pallipes), new guinea singing dog (Canis hallstromi), and dingo (Canis dingo) are all more closely related to the dhole (Cuon alpinus) than any of them are to any of the african members of the Canina subtribe such as the side-striped jackal (Lupulella adusta), the black-backed jackal (Lupulella mesomelas), african wild dog (Lycaon pictus), ethiopian golden wolf (Flavocyon simensis), and common golden wolf (Flavocyon lupaster), thus solidifying an exclusively african origin of modern members of the Canina subtribe to the exclusion of extinct genera like Aenocyon and Xenocyon, which are also both now treated as separate genera from Canis as well

[@vincentkiplangat3216]

But we still have jackals which are similar to wolves

[@TheTrueUnbeliever]

lost to whom?

[@kristy4619]

Why can't we vaccinate them like we do dogs.

[@joewood99]

We can vaccinate domesticated dogs because they are domesticated and tame. The steps to capture/dart the wolves to vaccinate them is not only stressful for the individual, but could cause issues/fallout within a pack. We should preserve their species, but vaccination isn't the way to do it. Only individuals in zoos will likely be viable for vaccination, which might mean captive populations are the only way to provide these animals with longevity in the face of extinction.

[@denniswekesa2225]

It's difficult to trace them in the forests.

[@babsgueye2253]

Don’t let any buddy vaccinate them leave alone with nature

[@pango-y8j]

But humans have changed nature,. Maybe domesticated dogs can transmit disease
