It has been determined that these wolves are morphologically distinct from modern North American wolves and genetically basal to most modern and extinct wolves. The Beringian wolf has not been assigned a subspecies classification and its relationship with the extinct European cave wolf Canis lupus spelaeus is not clear. The Beringian wolf was similar in size to the modern Yukon wolf Canis lupus Wolf Creek is a stream in Cooper County in the U. Wolf Creek was named after an early settler with the last name Wolf.

The State Historical Society of Missouri. Retrieved 24 September The wolf eel Anarrhichthys ocellatus is a species of wolffish Anarhichadidae from the North Pacific. The animal can grow to 2. The dire wolf Canis dirus, "fearsome dog" is an extinct species of the genus Canis. It is one of the most famous prehistoric carnivores in North America, along with its extinct competitor, the sabre-toothed cat Smilodon fatalis.

The dire wolf lived in the Americas during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene epochs ,—9, years ago. The species was named in , four years after the first specimen had been found. Two subspecies are recognized, these being Canis dirus guildayi and Canis dirus dirus. The dire wolf probably evolved from Armbruster's wolf Canis armbrusteri in North America.

Dire wolf remains have been found across a broad range of habitats including the plains, grasslands, and some forested mountain areas of North America, and in the arid savannah of South America. Dire wolf fossils have rarely been found Excavations in the cave are an important source of paleontological information on the North American Late Pleistocene, due to a rich layer of fossils from animals that became trapped in the cave. Besides bones, one Native American red jasper knife was found below the entrance drop and a wooden artifact, possibly an atlatl shaft, was discovered in a rat's nest below some talus.

In , Carol Jo Rushin Jessica Alice Cave Lloyd[1] born 5 May is an English actress, comedian and cartoonist, known for her role as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter film series, and for her shows in London and at the Edinburgh Fringe. She has also published a book of her trademark cartoon doodles, called "Love Sick", and some of the designs have also appeared on greeting cards. Personal life Cave was born 5 May in London,[2] the second eldest of five siblings.

Her father works as a general practitioner. She attended Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith for sixth form. A former county-level swimmer and ex-national tennis player, she studied illustration and animation at Kingston University. The film sets around two young wolves named Kate and Humphrey who fall in love with each other, but are on the opposite ends of their pack. However, when Kate and Humphrey learn that they got relocated to Idaho for repopulation, they must work together to get back to Jasper Park before a war slowly begins to emerge between both packs.

The organization was founded in The building is also home to the group's first permanent installation, House of Eternal Return. As a company, they focus on sharing abilities and processes amongst their artists to create elaborate maximalist art installations with a focus on interactivity, narrative and immersive art. The dog diverged from a now-extinct population of wolves immediately before the Last Glacial Maximum, when much of Eurasia was a cold, dry mammoth steppe biome. The origin of the domestic dog is not clear. The domestic dog is a member of the genus Canis, which forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore.

A troglobite or, formally, troglobiont is an animal species, or population of a species, strictly bound to underground habitats, such as caves. These are separate from species that mainly live in aboveground habitats but are also able to live underground eutroglophiles , and species that are only cave visitors subtroglophiles and trogloxenes. Troglobites typically have evolutionary adaptations to cave life. Examples of such adaptations include slow metabolism, reduced energy consumption, better food usage efficiency, decrease or loss of eyesight anophthalmia , and depigmentation absence of pigment in the integument.

Conversely, as opposed to lost or reduced functions, many species have evolved elongated antennal and locomotory appendages, in order to better move around and respond to environmental stimuli. These structures are als The band has featured international personnel throughout its career and presently consists of Cave, violinist and multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis, bassist Martyn P.

The band has released sixteen studio albums and completed numerous international tours, and has been considered "one of the most original and celebrated bands of the post-punk and alternative rock eras in the '80s and onward".

Cave paintings are a type of parietal art which category also includes petroglyphs, or engravings , found on the wall or ceilings of caves.

The term usually implies prehistoric origin, but cave paintings can also be of recent production: In the Gabarnmung cave of northern Australia, the oldest paintings certainly predate 28, years ago, while the most recent ones were made less than a century ago. The oldest type of cave paintings are hand stencils and simple geometric shapes; the oldest undisputed examples of figurative cave paintings are somewhat younger Canis, the genus of mammals commonly known as wolves, dingos, dogs, coyotes, and jackals, contains several living species, many divided into numerous subspecies, as well as numerous recently extinct and extinct prehistoric species.

Domestic dogs are not usually granted taxonomic variety names below the level of either their species name, or subspecies name so they do not appear here with their popular breed names as individual entries. The New Guinea singing dog and any other varieties of subspecies appear as individual entries here when their taxonomic considerations now suggest that they are varieties of subspecies other than domestic dogs, such as of dingoes. References for taxonomic classification, issues, and current considerations, especially in light of DNA revelations year to year, are found in the articles on individual canids; as this article is only a list, the extensive literature and specifics of these issues for each canid are beyond the scope of reference notes here.

Illustration of a Pleistocene wolf cranium that was found in Kents Cavern, Torquay, England[1] The evolution of the wolf occurred over a geologic time scale of at least thousand years. The grey wolf Canis lupus is a highly adaptable species that is able to exist in a range of environments and which possesses a wide distribution across the Holarctic. Studies of modern grey wolves have identified distinct sub-populations that live in close proximity to each other.

Timeline of canids with Canis armbrusteri in red. It was suggested to be much larger than the dire wolf and the grey wolf, weighing about 70 kg, and was probably a solitary hunter. Taxonomy Canis armbrusteri was named by James W. The first fossils were uncovered at Cumberland Bone Cave, Maryland, in an Irvingtonian terrestrial horizon. Fossil distribution is widespread throughout the United States. She cared for the infants at her den, a cave known as the Lupercal, until they were discovered by a shepherd, Faustulus. Romulus would later become the founder and first king of Rome.

The image of the she-wolf suckling the twins has been a symbol of Rome since ancient times and is one of the most recognizable icons of ancient mythology. One legend claims that the Hirpini people were so-called because, when they set out to found their first colony, they were led to its location by a wolf from the Sabine word for wolf: Another member of this group, Michel Chabaud, along with two others, travelled further into the cave and discovered the Gallery of the Lions, the End Chamber.

Lupa Capitolina "The Capitoline Wolf": The she-wolf is of unknown origin, the suckling twins were added circa The Lupercal from Latin lupa "female wolf" was a cave at the southwest foot of the Palatine Hill in Rome, located somewhere between the temple of Magna Mater and the Sant'Anastasia al Palatino. Luperci, the priests of Faunus, celebrated certain ceremonies of the Lupercalia at the cave, from the earliest days of the City until at least AD. Modern discovery In January , Italian archaeologist Irene Iacopi announced that she had probably found the legendary cave beneath the remains of Emperor Augustus's house, the Domus Livia, on the Palatine.

Archaeologists came across the meter-deep cavity while working to restore the decaying palace. The Mexican wolf Canis lupus baileyi , also known as the lobo, is a subspecies of gray wolf once native to southeastern Arizona, southern New Mexico, western Texas and northern Mexico. It is the smallest of North America's gray wolves,[2] and is similar to C. After being listed under the Endangered Species Act in , the United States and Mexico collaborated to capture all lobos remaining in The Eurasian wolf Canis lupus lupus , also known as the common wolf[2] or Middle Russian forest wolf,[3] is a subspecies of grey wolf native to Europe and the forest and steppe zones of the former Soviet Union.

It was once widespread throughout Eurasia prior to the Middle Ages. Aside from an extensive paleontological and genetic record,[4] Indo-European languages typically have several words for wolf, thus attesting to the animal's abundance and cultural significance. At this location in , Israel Putnam shot and killed Connecticut's last known wolf.

Putnam entered the cave by torch light, shot the wolf, and was pulled from the cave by a rope tied to his ankles, dragging the wolf behind him. The story has possibly been embellished over the years, but the main themes of the story, the cave and wolf, are believed to be factual by most Putnam biographers. An amarok, or amaroq, is a gigantic wolf in Inuit mythology, said to stalk and devour any person foolish enough to hunt alone at night.

Unlike wolves who hunt in packs, amaroks hunt alone.

Writing in the 19th century, Danish geologist and Greenlandic scholar Hinrich Johannes Rink reported that the Greenlandic Inuit reserve the word amarok exclusively for this legendary wolf, whereas other Arctic peoples use it to refer to any wolf. When he calls out to the lord of strength, an amarok appears and wrestles him to the ground with its tail.

The wolf is played by Chuck, a five-year-old Czechoslovakian Wolfdog. The film was delayed several times, before being released in the United States on August 17, , by Sony Pictures Releasing. Plot In Upper Paleolithic Europe, 21, years in the past, a small tribe of hunter-gatherers prepares for an expedition to hunt for the coming winter's food. Tau, its chief, trains his adolescent son Keda, accepting him and another boy to join the hunting party.

His wife Rho worries that The red wolf Canis lupus rufus[6][7] or Canis rufus[4] is a canid native to the southeastern United States. Morphologically it is intermediate between the coyote and gray wolf, and is of a reddish, tawny color. By the late s, it occurred in small numbers in the Gulf Coast of western Louisiana and east They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight.

They live mostly in solitude and hunt alone, and do not spin webs. Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow. Wolf spiders resemble nursery web spiders family Pisauridae , but wolf spiders carry their egg sacs by attaching them to their spinnerets. Two of the wolf spider's eight eyes are large and prominent, which distinguishes them from the nursery web spiders whose eyes are all of roughly equal size.

This can also help distinguish them from grass spiders. Mammoth Cave National Park is an American national park in central Kentucky, encompassing portions of Mammoth Cave, the longest cave system known in the world. Since the unification of Mammoth Cave with the even-longer system under Flint Ridge to the north, the official name of the system has been the Mammoth—Flint Ridge Cave System.

The Green River runs through the park, with a tributary called the Nolin River feeding into the Green just inside the park.

It describes the return of Jondalar to his homeland along with Ayla. Plot summary Central to this book is the tension created by Ayla's healing art, her pregnancy, and the acceptance of her by Jondalar's people, the Zelandonii. Ayla was raised by Clan Neanderthals, known as "flatheads" to the Zelandonii and viewed as no better than animals.

For the Zelandonii to accept Ayla they must first overcome their prejudice against the Neanderthals. Luckily for Ayla and Jondalar, some of the higher-ranking Zelandonii already have doubts of this misjudgment. Two of their number, Echozar and Brukeval, are of partial Neanderthal ancestry and are ashamed of it. Echozar at least is pacified by Ayla's own story and by his Echozar's own marriage to Joplaya, Jondalar's close-cousin half-sister.

Humphrey Head, a limestone outcrop which juts into the sea at the entrance to the Kent estuary and is allegedly the place where the last wolf in England was killed in the 14th century. Certain historians write that in , King Athelstan imposed an annual tribute of wolf skins on Welsh king Hywel Dda,[4] while William of Malmesbury states that Athelstan requested The Law for the Wolves "NOW this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky, And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.

As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack. Wash daily from nose tip to tail tip; drink deeply, but never too deep; And remember the night is for hunting and forget not the day is for sleep.

The jackal may follow the tiger, but, cub, when thy whiskers are grown, Remember the wolf is a hunter—go forth and get food of thy own.

Wolf Creek may refer to: The Cave of Altamira Spanish: The earliest paintings in the cave were executed around 36, years ago. Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola published his research with the support of Juan de Vilanova y Piera in to initial public acclaim. However, the publication of Sanz de Sautuola's research quickly led to a bitter public controversy among experts, some of whom rejected the prehistoric origin of the paintings on the grounds that prehistoric human Grotte de Lascaux, "Lascaux Cave"; English: Over parietal wall paintings cover the interior walls and ceilings of the cave.

The paintings represent primarily large animals, typical local and contemporary fauna that correspond with the fossil record of the Upper Paleolithic time. The drawings are the combined effort of many generations, and with continued debate, the age of the paintings is estimated at around 17, years early Magdalenian.
