The black fur of some North American wolves is the result of long-ago dalliances
with domestic dogs, probably the companions of the earliest Native Americans.
And a black coat seems to provide an advantage to forest-dwelling wolves,
meaning dogs passed on some useful genetic diversity to their wild cousins.

“This is pretty unique,” said biologist Tovi Anderson of Stanford University,
lead author of the study published Thursday in Science.
“Typically, you’d expect gene flow from domestic to wild animals would not be beneficial.”

Anderson and her team compared the genes of wolves from Yellowstone National Park
and the Canadian Arctic to those of domestic dogs and coyotes.

They found that, in each species, the black individuals have the same mutation,
which first arose about 45,000 years ago.

And molecular-clock analysis showed the mutation
was oldest in dogs, suggesting it originated with them
and then spread to wolves and coyotes through interbreeding.

This all happened in North America, because there are no black wolves in Europe
or Asia (except for an Italian population that has hybridized very recently with dogs).
And wolves picked up the black-coat mutation in the distant past.

Animals are actually more evolved.
We think we are smarter
while devoting our lives
foolishly misguided by the herds.

White Wolf : Perfect Timing Photos: A Close Encounter With A Minnesota Black Wolf (whitewolfpack.com)

Black Timber Wolf photographed at a wildlife reserve in Northern Minnesota.
"My name is Conrad Tan. I currently reside in Northern California in the San Francisco Bay Area. Photography was a late starting hobby for me. But unlike all other hobbies from my younger days, this one seems to have stuck. What began from a desire to look at a wallpaper I created myself has become an obsession of sorts." describes himself passionate photographer.

"I am consumed with creating the perfect photograph, whatever that may be. I tend to struggle with every image I create because I believe I can always make it better. I guess that is what keeps me coming back. There are so many disciplines in this hobby I've yet to try. I also love to help other photographers if I can. I think it is important to give back to the hobby that's given me so much happiness."


Photographer truly captured the essence of this beautiful mysterious creature..

Minnesota is home to 13 national wildlife refuges, each with a distinct set of attractions for birders and wildlife-watchers. The 13 wildlife refuges in Minnesota are among 550 refuges nationwide covering 150 million acres.

Across the nation, the refuges are home to more than 700 species of birds, 220 species of mammals, 250 reptile and amphibian species and more than 200 fish species.
