I know the wolf belongs in the Phylum Chordata :P
Chordata/e are:
~ animals that have a notochord that supports the body (or a backbone) - it includes all vertebrates.
~ all pilsterally symmetrical
~ have a nerve chord running down the back
These can rage from
- cows
- sheep
- dogs
- cats
- elephants
- giraffes

∙ 10y agoAll animals which have a spine, or backbone, are classified in the phylum Chordata. There are three subphylums in Chordata: the first two are invertebrates - Urochordata (tunicates e.g. marine filter feeders such as sea squirts), Cephalachordata (lancelets e.g. sessile burrowing marine animals), while the third is Vertebrata (vertebrates - all mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians).
