There are two known species of wolf: the gray wolf (Canis lupus) and the red wolf (Canis rufus). Scientists are not sure about a third possible species, the Ethiopian wolf or the Simian jackal (Canis simensis), because there is controversy over whether it is a real wolf or something else. There is only one subspecies of red wolf (the others are extinct), but there are many subspecies of gray wolves. Of these, some are the arctic wolf, the Mexican gray wolf, and the Mackenzie Valley wolf.
