Are Himalayan wolves just another wolf?
Genetic data suggests they are not quite grey , nor are they African . Himalayan are a unique genetic lineage ( http://bit.ly/HimWolfPhylo ) with genetic adaptations that enable them to thrive at high altitudes ( http://bit.ly/HimWolfAdaptations)

What do Himalayan like to eat? Mostly blue sheep, but also marmots, woolly hares, pika, and if they can find them, Tibetan gazelles.
But they prefer wild prey to livestock – valuable knowledge for the people who live with Himalayan on their doorstep.

Just like other wolves, Himalayan wolves live in family packs – cute Himalayan pup video alert!
