    Although no genetic evidence has been found of grey wolfjackal hybridization in the Caucasus Mountains, some cases exist where apparently genetically pure golden jackals have displayed remarkably grey wolf-like phenotypes, to the point of being mistaken for wolves by trained biologists. [7]

    Illustration of golden jackal-African wolf hybrids bred in captivity (1821). The Ethiopian wolf's conservation is threatened by dog hybridisation.
