Canis etruscus (the Etruscan wolf), is an extinct species of canine that was endemic to Mediterranean Europe and Crimean peninsula during the Early Pleistocene. [2] The Etruscan wolf is described as a small wolf-like dog. [3] It is widely agreed to be the ancestor of Canis mosbachensis, and thus ultimately the modern grey wolf (Canis lupus). [4]
A 2014 study compared the skull of a thylacine with that of modern dasyurids and an earlier thylacinid taxon Nimbacinus based on biomechanical analysis of their 3D skull models; the authors suggested that while Nimbacinus was suited to hunt large prey with a maximum muscle force of 651 N (146 lb f) which are similar to that of large Tasmanian ...
Diagram of a wolf skull with key features labelled. In mammals, the rostrum is that part of the cranium located in front of the zygomatic arches, where it holds the teeth, palate, and nasal cavity. [6] Additionally, the corpus callosum of the human brain has a nerve tract known as the rostrum.
The maned wolf is the tallest of the wild canids; its long legs are likely an adaptation to the tall grasslands of its native habitat. [18] Fur of the maned wolf may be reddish-brown to golden orange on the sides with long, black legs, and a distinctive black mane. The coat is marked further with a whitish tuft at the tip of the tail and a ...
The unique adaptation of the skull and dentition of the Beringian wolf allowed it to produce relatively large bite forces, grapple with large struggling prey, and therefore made predation and scavenging on Pleistocene megafauna possible. The Beringian wolf preyed most often on horse and steppe bison, and also on caribou, mammoth, and woodland ...
