But the way a wolf evolves will be explained in this padlet. Also the evolution of the wolf is not completely clear but this is what i have.]]> 2017-06-12 15:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/edward_beeker/e4ci74d8d3go/wish/176117380 edward_beeker https://padlet.com/edward_beeker/e4ci74d8d3go/wish/176121410 The Wolf first evolved from a primitive carnivore known as the miacid. Miacids were many different sizes from gopher to dog-sized animals and the appeared in the lower tertiary about 52 million years ago. In the late evolutionary history of a miacid came the first appearance of the first canid (Cynodictis) this was called the Dawn-Wolf. It looked like a elongated fox. Some believe that canids originated in North America and then spread to Asia and South America, while others ascribe that a small type of wolf crossed into Siberia from Alaska. And it eventually developed into the larger, present-day grey wolf.]]> 2017-06-12 15:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/edward_beeker/e4ci74d8d3go/wish/176121410 edward_beeker https://padlet.com/edward_beeker/e4ci74d8d3go/wish/176269426 Wolf ancestors started to develop in the Paleocene, about 60 million years ago. By the Miocene, about 20 million years ago. So then canines and felines branched out into 2 different families. The first gray wolf, (Canis Lupis) appeared in Eurasia sometime in the early Pleistocene period about a million years ago.]]> 2017-06-13 15:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/edward_beeker/e4ci74d8d3go/wish/176269426 edward_beeker https://padlet.com/edward_beeker/e4ci74d8d3go/wish/176272126 The Dire wolf (Canis Dirus) a larger and heavier  than the Gray Wolf, it was 1.5 meters (5 feet) long and weighed about 50 kilograms (110 pounds) on average .It evolved earlier and the two co existed in North America for about 400,000 years, then as their prey became extinct around 16,000 years ago due to climatic change, the dire wolf slowly went extinct itself. Then The Gray wolf became the prime canine predator in North America. Many paleontologists think that the dire wolf may have used its large teeth to crush bone.]]> 2017-06-13 15:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/edward_beeker/e4ci74d8d3go/wish/176272126
