[edit] Created this page
I am looking to start my contributions for Wikipedia and was looking through the Request's page and found Indian Wolf so I created it. Feel free to expand it, as I am just starting. I will add more data as I aquire it, but feel free to edit/change/delete anything I input, but please let the article live.

[edit] Thanks
Thank you for your contribution. I made a few standard changes so that the article conforms to the other subspecies pages. I also removed the picture, as it lacks a source and probably would have been deleted anyway. I decided to leave the subspecies map, but I suspect it may be deleted in time, as well. Remember to check the copyright status of any image you upload in the future to avoid complications.

[edit] Distinct species?
According to an article in the Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research The phylogenetic reconstructions of cytochrome b sequences, however gave significant statistical support for the inner branches supporting genetic distinction of the two Indian wolf lineages within themselves as well as from all other wolves of the world, including individuals belonging to subspecies C. lupus chanco and C. lupus pallipes to which the two Indian wolf populations have been traditionally assigned. Their genetic differentiation relative to worldwide variation of wolves supports the suggestion to treat them as separate wolf species, C. himalayensis and C. indica.
That does by far not mean, that C. indica is already recognized by the ICZN as a valid species. --Altaileopard (talk) 15:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
