The Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), also known as the lobo mexicano (or, simply, lobo) [a] is a subspecies of gray wolf (C. lupus) native to eastern and southeastern Arizona and western and southern New Mexico (in the United States) and fragmented areas of northern Mexico.
The coyote is typically smaller than the gray wolf, but has longer ears and a relatively larger braincase, [7] as well as a thinner frame, face, and muzzle. The scent glands are smaller than the gray wolf's, but are the same color. [9] Its fur color variation is much less varied than that of a wolf. [13]
In May 2011, an examination of 48,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms in red wolves, eastern wolves, gray wolves, and dogs indicated that the red and eastern wolves were hybrid species, with the red wolf being 76% coyote and 20% gray wolf, and the eastern wolf being 58% gray wolf and 42% coyote, finding no evidence of being distinct species in ...
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Northern New Mexico or bust — that seems to be the case for at least one Mexican gray wolf that is intent on wandering beyond the boundaries set for managing the ...
The wild population of Mexican gray wolves in the southwestern U.S. is still growing, but environmental groups are warning that inbreeding and the resulting genetic crisis within the endangered ...
The annual Mexican gray wolf census found at least 257 of the endangered wolves in New Mexico and Arizona, up 15 from the previous year. The count shows a 6% increase in the number of Mexican gray ...
However, the divergence was a much greater 8.0% between gray wolf (C. lupus) mtDNA and eastern/red wolf haplotypes, and 10.0% between gray wolf and coyote haplotypes. The sequence difference observed between eastern Canadian wolf sequences and coyote sequences is consistent with a separation of 150 000 – 300 000 years, using a divergence rate ...
