The Himalayan or Tibetan wolf appears to be on the verge of being recognised as a distinct species (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/21/himalayan-wolf-lopes-recognition-species-oxygen-protection). It may look superficially like a Grey wolf, but these canids show physiological adaptations, enabling them to operate at altitudes where oxygen is in short supply. That could make them sufficiently different to be accorded separate status.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
