What kinds of breed are there of wolves?

Answer 1

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.
