Black wolf
Topic
A black wolf is a melanistic color variant of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) or the red wolf (Canis rufus). Genetic research indicates that wolves with black pelts owe their distinctive coloration to a mutation that originated in domestic dogs and was subsequently introduced to wild wolf populations through hybridization.
