Tibetan Wolf from the trans-Himalaya

Tibetan Wolf from the trans-Himalaya...

According to Wikipedia: "The Tibetan wolf (Canis lupus chanco), also known as the woolly wolf, is a subspecies of grey wolf native to Central Asia from Turkestan, Tien Shan throughout Tibet to Mongolia, northern China, Shensi, Sichuan, Yunnan, and the western Himalayas in Kashmir from Chitral to Lahul. They also occur in the Korean peninsula. In Tibet, it is known as the chángú, while near the Niti pass from Kumaon, it is known as the chankodi.

The Tibetan wolf is thought by some scientists to be the most likely ancestor of the domestic dog, on account of its small size and mandible morphology, noting that the uppermost part of the lower jaw is turned back on both the Tibetan wolf and the dog, though not so in other grey wolf subspecies."
