Technically the same species

I don't know where did you get that picture, but to my understanding, that is not a wolf, as their tails never go up, and their heads follow the line of the spine.

That is one bad ass looking K9

There's no technically about it they are the same species

I think someone wrote a book about him. Such a gorgeous animal! It's sad to know the hunters got him :(
