Origin of the domestic dog to the domestic dog and modern wolf lineages. The gray wolf is thought to be ancestral to the domestic dog, however its relationship to "C. variabilis", and the genetic contribution of "C. variabilis" to the dog, is the subject of debate. The Zhokhov Island (8,700 YBP) and Aachim (1,700 YBP) canid haplotypes fell within the domestic dog clade, cluster with S805, and also share their haplotypes with – or are one mutation away from – the Tibetan wolf ("C. l. chanco") and the recently-extinct Japanese wolf ("C. l. hodophilax"). This may indicate that these canids retained the genetic signature of
Dwarf dog-faced bat Dwarf dog-faced bat The dwarf dog-faced bat ("Molossops temminckii"), is a bat species from South America. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay. They are considered an abundant species, and are listed as a species of "least concern" on the IUCN Red List due to its wide distribution, presumed large population, and the unlikelihood of decline. The dwarf dog-faced bat is classified in the order Chiroptera and the family Molossidae with the other free-tailed bats. The genus "Molossops" encompasses 4 species of broad-faced bats including "M. temminckii." The species was named for Coenraad
