But a new landmark study in Diversity and Distributions finds that the megafauna of the Sahara desert are on the verge of total collapse"

White Wolf: The Japanese Wolf - The World's Smallest Wolf Ever

White Wolf: The Japanese Wolf - The World's Smallest Wolf Ever: "The Honshū Wolf, is known in Japan as the Japanese Wolf or by it's other name the "Mountain Dog". This wolf is one of the two extinct subspecies of the Gray Wolf once common to the islands of Japan. The Honshū Wolf lived on the islands of Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū in Japan. The Hokkaidō Wolf, was native to the island of Hokkaidō. The Honshū Wolf is the smallest known variety of wolf, probably due island dwarfing, and because of this size difference it's classification as a subspecies of the gray wolf is disputed."
