The megafaunal wolf is the ancestor of many canines, or the canis genus, that we know today, such as the jackal, hyena, fox, coyote, dingo, as well as the other wolfs of various regions of the world.

We get back and we usually have more gas left over this night than the night from before. This night we stay in the cabin and…
