Talk:Arabian wolf

October 2006

While on a desert camping trip this weekend (14 Oct. 2006) I and my companions observed three of these Canis Lupus Arabs wolves in the desert. We actually chased the animals with our 4-WD vehicles and got a very good look at them and took photos. The map of their range does not include mainland Egypt but these wolves were observed on the west side of the River Nile about 100 km south of Cairo near Al Fayyum.

Hey, would you like to upload some of the photos for use in the article please? cyclosarin 01:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Saying that interbreeding with feral dogs is a threat to the subspecies sounds pretty racist to me. What, are we going to try that with humans? Make sure the 'negro' and 'caucasian' subspecies don't go extinct? I think not. Any interbreeding that works is a good thing.

Humans have no distinct subspecies, they're all simply colour variations. Wolves on the other hand have developed genetic distinctions due to millenia of isolation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.14.101 (talk) 18:39, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

So what? What's so bad avout them breeding with feral dogs, if the mongrels can survive, the better. Since feral dogs and wolves are likely the same species it only heightens the numbers.--Inugami-bargho (talk) 09:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Map

I'm not sure what the colors on Arabian wolf range map are supposed to represent. Is there anyway to make that clearer? 68.175.59.239 (talk) 03:36, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Deletion

I have undone an edit from 8/8/2019 about wolves in Lebanon and Arabian wolves possibly existing in other parts of the Arabian peninsula. The statements are unreferenced and don't contribute to the article.Makumbe (talk) 02:13, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
