    The species has a wide distribution range, which is not close to the threshold of vulnerable and endangered species survival (distribution area or fluctuation range is less than 20,000 square kilometers, habitat quality, population size, and distribution area fragmentation), and the population trend is stable, so it is evaluated as a species without survival crisis.

    Coyotes, throughout their range, are in significant numbers due to adaptation to changes in the environment by humans. Eliminating some coyotes may also be effective in aiding coyote expansion. Due to geographical, food, climatic and seasonal variations, coyote mortality rates and growth rates vary.

    Temporary short-term control in a place can reduce on the basis of excessive numbers, but in most areas coyotes generally belong to stable wolf populations.

    Humans, wolves, bears, and cougars all hunt coyotes, and the latter two also kill coyote cubs. Coyotes play an important role in the food chain, inhibiting the expansion of small animal populations. However, it is also one of the hosts of rabies, which farmers believe is a threat to poultry and livestock, and it also competes with hunters for prey.

    Coyotes are hunted and coats are made out of their fur, which costs about $17 a coyote in the United States. People are the coyote's worst enemy.

    Coyotes have the characteristic of being typically good at seizing opportunities. When wolves in the continental United States were killed in large numbers, coyotes migrated north and east from the Great Plains. Coyotes are found from high Alaska, from the Pacific coast to central Canada and New England in the United States.

    The main wolf species in the world: Simian jackal Until recently, this small and delicate wolf weighing 15 to 30 kg was considered a unique breed and was named Canis Rufus. Anatomists now believe that this wolf is simply a variation of the size and color of the canine genus Lupsi.

    When this natural change occurs, we call it a subspecies. If this change occurs due to human action, it is called "breeding". Now, the purebred red wolf subspecies may disappear in the wild.

    Wolf-like animals commonly found in the southeastern United States are most likely hybrids of red wolves or coyotes migrating eastward. Coyotes Coyotes give the image of solitary hunters, but when defending territory or prey, related coyotes form packs. Once destroyed by these adaptable, dog-like animals, the vast sheep farms in North America are now used by European herds to protect their flocks.

    North American wolves evolved in Eurasia millions of years ago, like other wolves, as the most abundant of the wolf family, and then migrated to North America. It has a complex hierarchy of gregaries. Red wolves are small, elongated, and dog-like in appearance, and are light and muscular stalkers.

    Mexican wolf The miniature Mexican wolf is a unique subspecies found in the mountains of central Mexico. Their appearance suggests that ancient Mexicans, such as the Azuks and Incas, had genetic material for breeding dogs. The Mexican wolf is small in size but strong Kenneai wolf They are the largest subspecies of gray wolves, most of which are over 45 kilograms in size, and live on the Kenneai Peninsula in Alaska, USA, where they became extinct in 1951.

    Newfoundland White Wolf In 1842, Newfoundland localities** established a bounty for those who hunted down the animal. In 1911, they became the first of many subspecies of the North American gray wolf to become extinct. The coat that grows in winter is easy to camouflage.

    Japanese Wolf The Japanese wolf is perhaps the smallest of the wolf subspecies, and as a result, this animal survived into the 20th century. Japanese wolves live in the Kuril Islands, which are in Honshu, Hokkaido, and the now disputed Japanese archipelago. The last of these small gray wolves was killed in 1905.

    The tail is long, stout, and bushy. 7. The distribution of wolves in the world Arctic wolves Arctic wolves live in the Canadian Arctic, as far north as Ellismery Island. Due to the lack of food, each pack of wolves has a large territory.

    Southern Canada has a lot of food, so the territory of the wolves is smaller. European Gray Wolf The European gray wolf used to be the dominant subspecies, but now the breed is extinct in much of Western Europe. In central and eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Iberian Peninsula live a small number of European gray wolves.

    Asian Arabian wolf This small subspecies may be the ancestor of many European and Asian domestic dogs. In vast areas of Asia, this group of wolves and adaptable wolves live in areas where domestic dogs first appeared. Since they are related by blood in China, Europe, and North America, the domestic dog breeding genetics have been increased.

Brief introduction. Subspecific intraspecific taxa refer to groups of organisms within the same species that are clearly different in morphological characteristics and traits due to regional, ecological, or seasonal isolation. For this reason, as an independent species, it must have 1 or 2 morphological characteristics that distinguish it from the original subspecies, that is, the location of the jade bud, the morphological characteristics and its composition, as well as the number, shape, and color of the tepals of the single flower, the number, shape, and color of the stamens, the number, shape, and color of the isolated single pistil, the number, shape, and color of the aggregated fruits, and the number, shape, and color of the fruits. >>>More
