[@rajiv6336]

I am glad your mission was a great success. Nice and rewarding sightings 👌 🦊

Maharashtra is amazing. I'm fascinated by wolves, just read about the sighting of a huge pack in Morgaon.

[@naturewithgitesh]

Nice video. Can you please guide us where exactly is the entry to the Saswad Grassland or the village from where we can do better birding or sight the wolf

[@SidsCalling]

Thank you! I have never been to Saswad grasslands. The only wolf landscape I visited in Maharashtra is Kumbhargaon which is close to Bhigwan. Just look for Flamingo point near Bhigwan on gmaps and you would get the location.

The Pale-Footed Wolf (Canis pallipes) is a species of dog native to Southwestern Asia, there are two recognized subspecies of pale-footed wolf, the Arabian Wolf (Canis pallipes arabs) and the Indian Wolf (Canis pallipes pallipes), the Pale-Footed Wolf (Canis pallipes) is surprisingly the closest living relative of the oceanian wild dogs, which are both the New Guinea Singing Dog (Canis hallstromi) and the Dingo (Canis dingo).

[@cineroustit]

The Indian wolf is a subspecies of Grey wolf

[@indyreno2933]

@baranidharans3867, actually, Canis lupus is polyphyletic, which is why the white wolf, sea wolf, eastern wolf, red wolf, and pale-footed wolf as well as the recently extinct japanese wolf are considered separate species from the grey wolf, very similar to how the mediterranean deer, barbary deer, caspian deer, hangul, and elk/wapiti are separate species from the red deer, with the scientific names of the white wolf, japanese wolf, sea wolf, eastern wolf, red wolf, and pale-footed wolf being Canis albus, Canis hodophilax, Canis crassodon, Canis lycaon, Canis rufus, and Canis pallipes respectively and the scientific names of the mediterranean deer, barbary deer, caspian deer, hangul, and elk/wapiti being Cervus corsicanus, Cervus barbarus, Cervus maral, Cervus hanglu, and Cervus canadensis respectively, the White Wolf (Canis albus) has eight valid subspecies: the Tundra Wolf (Canis albus albus), the Barren-Ground Wolf (Canis albus tundrarum), the Hudson Bay Wolf (Canis albus hudsonicus), the Mackenzie River Wolf (Canis albus mackenzii), the †Banks Island Wolf (Canis albus bernardi), the Queen Elizabeth Islands Wolf (Canis albus arctos), the Baffin Island Wolf (Canis albus manningi), and the Greenland Wolf (Canis albus orion), the †Japanese Wolf (Canis hodophilax) has two valid subspecies: the †Ezo Wolf (Canis hodophilax hattai) and the †Honshu Wolf (Canis hodophilax hodophilax), the Sea Wolf (Canis crassodon) has three valid subspecies: the Columbian Wolf (Canis crassodon columbianus), the Vancouver Island Wolf (Canis crassodon crassodon), and the Archipelago Wolf (Canis crassodon ligoni), the Eastern Wolf (Canis lycaon) has two valid subspecies: the †Manitoba Wolf (Canis lycaon griseoalbus) and the Algonquin Timber Wolf (Canis lycaon lycaon), the Red Wolf (Canis rufus) has three valid subspecies: the †Mississippi River Wolf (Canis rufus gregoryi), the Florida Black Wolf (Canis rufus floridanus), and the Grass Wolf (Canis rufus rufus), and the Pale-Footed Wolf (Canis pallipes) has two valid subspecies: the Arabian Wolf (Canis pallipes arabs) and the Indian Wolf (Canis pallipes pallipes), the pale-footed wolf forms a clade with the oceanian wild dogs, which are what the New Guinea Singing Dog (Canis hallstromi) and Dingo (Canis dingo) are known collectively as, leaving the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) with only twenty-five valid subspecies: the Steppe Wolf (Canis lupus campestris), the South China Wolf (Canis lupus szechuanensis), the Himalayan Wolf (Canis lupus filchneri), the Mongolian Wolf (Canis lupus chanco), the Italian Wolf (Canis lupus italicus), the †Sicilian Wolf (Canis lupus cristaldii), the Iberian Wolf (Canis lupus signatus), the Scandinavian Wolf (Canis lupus norvegicus), the †English Wolf (Canis lupus englandensis), the †Scottish Wolf (Canis lupus scoticus), the Irish Wolf (Canis lupus iricus), the Russian Wolf (Canis lupus communis), the Common Wolf (Canis lupus lupus), the Domestic Dog (Canis lupus familiaris), the †Kenai Peninsula Wolf (Canis lupus alces), the Yukon Wolf (Canis lupus pambasileus), the Alaskan Timber Wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis), the Northern Rocky Mountain Wolf (Canis lupus irremotus), the †Cascade Mountain Wolf (Canis lupus fuscus), the †Great Plains Wolf (Canis lupus nubilus), the †Newfoundland Wolf (Canis lupus beothucus), the Labrador Wolf (Canis lupus labradorius), the †Mogollon Wolf (Canis lupus mogollonensis), the †Texas Wolf (Canis lupus monstrabilis), and the Mexican Wolf (Canis lupus baileyi).

[@cineroustit]

@@indyreno2933 you may be right, but so far in india as well as in wikipedia it is still listed as an extant subspecies of the grey wolf. Things might change though and you could be right.

[@shatnermohanty6678]

Guys , we have Indyreno in the house , with yet another misinformative comment . And He still won't tell where he got this (mis) information 🤔

[@ojas3464]

Thanks🐅🐯👍

[@souravkumarsarkar8386]

[@shatnermohanty6678]

I have seen Indian wolves in the wild . They are as tall as German shepherd but are thin like Cheetah . This body structure allows them to run for long distance
