The Indian wolf (Canis lupus pallipes) is a subspecies of gray wolf found across the plains of the Indian subcontinent. It is one of the two subspecies of wolves found in India, with the other being the larger Himalayan Wolf. The Indian Gray Wolf is one of the two (sub)species of wolf found in India.
However, both species are currently being proposed as separate species from the gray wolf. The "Indian plains wolf" is genetically basal to all other extant Canis lupus apart from the older-lineage Himalayan wolf. This video is a compialation of all my wolf sightings in India. The Indian wolf was spotted in Velavadar while the Himalayan Wolf was spotted during our Ladakh Road Trip. Both, the grasslands of Velavadar in Gujarat, and the mountains of Ladakh and the Western Himalayas are some of India's finest biodiversity hotspots.
