Document Summary
December 3rd, 2015: what do biologists believe are the genetic/evolutionary relationships between the. Canis species in north america last shared a common ancestor about 1-2 million years ago. The hybridization and gene flow of these species has made it difficult to distinguish between them, though they are genetically different. Because of hybridization, algonquin provincial park wolves are considered to be genetically distinct from grey wolves and coyotes. Animals on southern ontario are smaller than the intermediate-sized animals in algonquin provincial park, which are smaller than those in. Diet: gray wolves diet includes such as moose and woodland caribou, whereas the red wolves eat smaller mammals such as rabbits, white-tailed deer, and beavers.
