There is one (some say 2) species of wolf and about 39 subspecies. There are a few others that are called wolf, such as the maned wolf, that are not true wolves. The species of wolf are Canis lupusand some say Canis rufus. Most scientists now classify Canis rufus as a subspecies of the wolf - Canis lupus rufus.
