Best Answer

The gray wolf (Lat. Canis Lupus) is the second most specialised member of the genus Canis, after the Ethiopian wolf, as demonstrated by its morphological adaptations to hunting large prey, its more gregarious nature. The species Canis lupus was first recorded by Carl Linnaeus in his publication Systema Naturae in 1758.
